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)!

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.

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

Human foot bones

Real quick gestures
