Alright, here is an update to my sketchbook.
I have (much too light) gestures, some are 30sec and 60sec; figure studies from life drawing class, and drawings from imagination that I am applying my studies to.
The life drawings wwew harder than usual; I was practicing different techniques and methods of going about sketching the model. Very, Verrrrry frustrating...the first pose SUCKS...BAD.I was practicing rendering the figure by using my finger to rub the charcoal around. Though the values are even, they are either way too light or just....meh. however, imy second pose turned ou alot better. It was still frustrating...maybe because I am drawing larger, regardless the second pose may be my best figure drawing from class!
I am especially proud of sketches from my imagination. Here, I was just applying my studies, but exercising my creativity. As for the actual process, I am trying to use as few strokes as possible; trying to build confidence in my strokes so my sketches don't turn out fuzzy and chicken scratchy.
