Short pose female figure, charcoal drawing
Another short pose. I like this figure, and I actually like unfinished look of it.

Standing figure, charcoal drawing
I’m back to newsprint! So far it’s my favorite practice paper. This drawing took me about 20 minutes. I think the shading and hatching shows that it’s a longer pose. However, whenever I’m drawing, I always think that I’ll finish it later.. and usually never do ^^;

Waiting, charcoal drawing
Once again, there’s a certain scene lined up here. I call it “waiting.’ For what? That’s a secret ^_~

Two figures, charcoal drawing
This model did very dynamic poses, and I really enjoyed capturing them. I think, my drawings really lack that dynamic feel in a lot of cases. Something to work on!

Leaning figure, charcoal drawing

Sitting figure, charcoal drawing
Spent about 20 minutes on this drawing. I think if I added a few highlights, this figure would really pop. Seeing and analyzing my work like this is actually really helpful. When I’m drawing, I’m not noticing the mistakes because I stare at the drawing for so long and just get used to it. However,

Reclining figure, charcoal drawing
Here, I concentrated way too much on the things surrounding the model, and had not enough time to work on the actual figure. However, I do like those pillows xD

20-minute poses, charcoal drawing
Come on, get up so that you can get drawn better! xD Seated poses are still much harder to do ^^; I think these are 20-minute poses. Charcoal on construction paper. Model: @taylour_bogdan

Single figure, charcoal and pastel drawing
I think I did better here with highlights, but maybe it’s best to stay in two-toned palette right now. I think highlights are a good tool to distract the viewer from negative parts of the drawing 🤨
