figure drawing 04 ("nudity gets an inkover")

a series of 20 minute studies, all done primarily with ink (and some blue colored pencil on occasion)

(I really enjoyed doing these)

I'll post my charcoal 20 minute studies once I find the SD card for my camera (sigh). 

figure drawing 02 ("predictable warning: unclothed human beings up ahead")

Over the summer I took a figure drawing class, to brush up on my grasp of the human anatomy and also explore with stylizing the body. Before every session I would do a style warm-up for five minutes or so, to familiarize myself with my own style so that I wouldn't resort to hyper-realistic drawings during the actual session. 

Style warmup! 

30 second ink warmups. 

one minute, with blue pencil

one minute, with red pencil

more one minute drawings, with blue pencil

2 minutes!

10 for the two on the left, 5 for the one on the right. 

15 for this one ("I WILL STRETCH YOU, GOOD SIR.") 

and about 15-ish for this one (it was part of a 20, but I spent the other 5-8 minutes zooming in on his face and hat). 

Caption: "Welcome, ladies."
