The new semester has begun, and I’m getting warmed up and used to the heavy workload once again. Here are a few images of things I’ve done so far (some NSFW nude figures under the cut):

More from my charcoal drawing class. These are all figure studies from live models, and therefore are nude. All NSFW images are under the cut.

I am chugging out so much work that I’m having issues posting it all. So here’s a huge dump of more characterized figure drawings and they are most likely out of order. The worst part is that I have at least twice this much that I haven’t even photographed yet.

It’s interesting to keep pushing this style of drawing. I’m definitely working outside of my box, and I think my characterization is getting marginally better with practice. More tomorrow.

This is part one of my blogsplosion catch-up. I’ve got a monstrous backlog of classwork to share. This is more like the last characterized figure drawing. Fun!

The point of this exercise was to draw the girl on stage, but with a twist. This wasn’t normal figure drawing… instead we were to emphasize her pose and gesture, and further characterize her. It was a difficult assignment, as I’m used to simply drawing what is in front of me.

The sequence of drawings with two characters on them were done in an interesting way. All three drawings have two different poses on them, but they were done by the same model. WHAT, no my model could NOT magically change sex mid-way through class. She did her first pose, and then quick-changed her costume on stage as she got into a second pose. The two poses interacted with one another, and were then placed on the same page to create a scene. Obviously both characters were based on a female model, but I turned the clown into a male while drawing. I also further changed up their costumes to develop the characters more. What a fun class!
