Figure drawing - 1

I absolutely loved my figure drawing class. I have so many sketches from that class because we did lots of quick drawings and only a few long ones... So I will have to multiple post of my work, showing how I progressed from the beginning to the end of the class (quite a bit I think/hope)!

Graphite power and graphite stick

Quick study in graphite

Graphite - placing the leg bones accurately in the model

Quick study of the skeleton with graphite powder and graphite

Graphite powder + graphite quick poses
                                 

First day of class skeleton practice in graphite - contour only, no rendering. I needed to edit a bit more, this looks somewhat jumbled, and I have no tonal or mark variation.

Quick graphite studies



First day of class skeleton perspective

Bones


Putting the skeleton into our model - again, not nearly enough editing!


Human foot bones

Real quick gestures
                                   

First day of class skeleton - attempting but struggling to use perspective


Early drawing, way to much contour

Miniature figure from my head. Not so impressed with mine, which inspires me to continue to really practice figure drawing!
