In this drawing, I like the sharpness of angles in the figure and the way the chair turned out. Normally, chairs are left to the last and get nearly no consideration. However, this was a longer pose, so I spent some time on both the figure and the chair. At some point, I might even … Continue reading Drawing of Male Figure Sitting in a Chair

I always feel like the stool looks out of place in my drawings. Perhaps I need to work in the horizon line or define the flat area on the floor to ground both the figure and the stool? 🤔
This is a 20-minute drawing, and I think I got the shoulders right in here.
I think I really need to work on shoulder girdle, it seems to always turn out way too small. This is a 10-minute drawing, but all of the basic structure mistakes are already set in place 😂
Sometimes, the whole pose isn't working from that particular angle. Therefore, it's okay to draw only a part of the figure.

It's still hard for me to put … Continue reading Sitting half-figure, charcoal drawing

I think this was a longer 20-minute pose, but I can't be sure because at that time I didn't label or date my artworks >.<
This is a longer pose, so I had more time for details. However, I didn't switch paper, and it's tough to add and subtract on low quality paper ~_~
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 … Continue reading Two-pose male figure, charcoal drawing
