The geeeeeeeorgeous model we had last life drawing class came back AND her body still did not have the lumps and bumps to match the drawings. So I focused on shadows.
These are all 5 minute charcoal sketches.
Unfinished but good enough . . charcoal
Sneak Peak – Lumps and Bump Shadows
These are all very beautiful and so impressive! I love charcoal, it is so forgiving and you certainly seem to know your way with it! I particularly love the first one, amazing to think you did that in only FIVE minutes!!!
I remember my painting teacher saying “Assume the viewer is intelligent. You don’t need to get every line in… ”
I also really like the last one which looks like a landscape.

Peta,
THANK YOU! It’s always encouraging to have feedback from someone like you who knows their way around a charcoal stick. Landscape . . . I need to take a fresh look.

Five minutes? Five minutes each drawing? I’d still be looking for my charcoal. You are beginning to master the media and the craft – very well done!

Shari,
I tape the charcoal to my hand on the drive to class.
Thanks!
