Two-pose male figure, charcoal drawing
I’m trying out different paper, and this one is super smooth. Unfortunately, I don’t really know what it’s called 🙂 We have it at the studio for free ^^; However, I can’t figure out if I like the smoothness. I feel like it leaves less room for erasing as even willow charcoal just wants to…

Quick gestures, charcoal drawing
This is a example of getting distracted mid-pose and not finishing it 😀 The other two gestures are ok ^^ These were done on rough newsprint, I think it’s my favorite paper so far for warm-up drawings.

Two similar poses, charcoal drawing
Every now and then, it feels like the model does two identical poses in the row until you walk around and check the weight shift.

Multi-pose, charcoal drawing
Sometimes the poses differ so much, and I think nothing of it while drawing… However, looking back at it later, I see just hilarious scenes and have a lot of questions as to what’s going on there? This probably was a cool dance party until one of them lost their airpod xD

Tri-figure, charcoal drawing
Whenever I start the drawing sessions with short poses, I just draw them on the same page. If the pose wasn’t working out, I just erase it.

Leaning seated pose, charcoal figure drawing
I see the same problem here, I didn’t indicate the model’s surroundings, so the pose feels a little awkward. However, I still like it. Now, I usually just block in whatever the model is leaning on.

Seated pose, charcoal drawing
There was a time when a seated pose was a mystery to me. I can’t say that I’ve mastered it, but at least I don’t get a panic attack whenever I hear “let’s do a seated pose” xD

Standing and sitting figure, charcoal drawing
Whenever the pose is too short, I just concentrate on one part of the body and sort of just indicate the rest. There’s really no need to beat oneself over being unable to do the whole figure in a few minutes. Same goes for an unflattering pose, don’t try to challenge yourself to make it…

Half-seated pose, charcoal drawing
I like how this one turned out, but I kind of whish I drew the stool on which the model was sitting. Maybe someday I’ll finish it 🙂 However, it might be best not to touch it, since I usually end up ruining it 😀

Tri-figure, charcoal drawing
Whenever I start drawing, it takes me a few minutes to get into it. At first, those short 1-minute poses look like a bunch of lines that barely resemble a figure, but with each pose they take on more shape. Sometimes, it’s those initial lines that I like best about the whole figure.
