A study after Raphael Sanzio himself.

Arm of a Saint of past + volume simplification yay

[ballpoint]

Another Saint's arm and back view of a figure by Guilio Romano. Value is too dark and it's hard to see the core shadow. Overall gets point across about separating light from shadow following Steve's exercise. Legs were a fun one. Used Sanguine for those which explains the lighter tones.

Figure study after Peter Paul Rubens

Light/shade breakdown of an upper arm after Timoteo delle Vite.

Last page of my study of Light & Shadow. This is after artist Francesco Furini. It's also a re-do of it. I had done it a few weeks prior when I first started the exercises (it was my second page) but I wasn't satisfied at all. After learning what I did through application, I went back to it and drew it again with the knowledge gained.

Pretty much does it for the self-study of Huston's awesome book. Currently doing a small mentorship and looking forward to just being with my sketchbook and drawing from life for the next few wks/months.

This is a host of limbs! I prefer them attached to a body though, when you do quick life drawings and capture the essence of a pose so well.
What motivated you to switch to charcoal?

Those are some good butts

Charcoal provided deeper darks and I could lay-in masses quicker. Especially important as I was learning Light-Shade specifically. Also, it wasn't a huge favorite medium of mine. But as I'm growing, I'm learning to be more accepting of some tools.

Hahahaahaha gracias ;)

Completed a sketchbook yesterday. Hardly much on this one (my Light-Shade ones were in a toned pad). Here's some thumbs and live figure sessions.

Here are some Anatomy studies from Stephen Roger Peck's book and Bridgman ones. Honestly haven't even put an ounce of thought towards Anatomy in a while. Though this did me give the confidence to tackle it properly this year. Last month, just focused on the ribcage, shoulder girdle and pelvis.

Some head drawings after Sargent from a mentorship I did. Head drawing is on my sights for this year. >_<

Lively portraits! I searched for the original works to see how to translated the medium, but Sargent made a million portraits and some more.

Hah! They're after some oil paintings he did. The 2nd of Roosevelt is quite well known in the States, commissioned presidential portrait.
