figure

figure drawing is one of the most fun things you can do, it is a constant struggle of course to try and get more and more accurate, measure angles, proportions and learn all the necessary anatomy too. but you can also find this happy place where after enough practice you just go in there and just draw and it's so much fun, you can also stylize things and play with shapes and it is also probably the best time to experiment because you are drawing something you have drawn so much and are so comfortable with you can start thinking about other things and not worry so much about making a good drawing.

This drawing was definetly like that, just fun and experimental. I was definetly not thinking about coming up with a good drawing to show off, which is probably what i should have been thinking about. It was my first time drawing on vellum, and that stuff is nice! its smooth, i did a vine charcoal drawing smudged it around, then got a stick of harder charcoal and added some linework and then i got a red pastel and added a little temperature to places, i never really measured the angles, just sorta looked and drew, she was a big booty chic for sure though. it was drawn in about 35 mins i would guess.

here are some real quick sketches from recently, from the sketchbook, 1 -3 min poses. this is truly the most fun stuff




sometimes its good to do stuff like this too, this guy was just drawn out of my head, trying to remember where all thos landmarks are



and this was from looking at some figure drawings by george bridgman. i used to copy his drawing trying to make exact duplicates, but nowadays i just draw my style while looking at em
