Lounging Man



Nude drawing of man in my figure drawing class at Crealde. I started to rub out the paper using vine charcoal with a brown tint and then switched to black. It came out all pretty much the same color on the paper, but when I took a picture of it, all the brown came back.

Boxing Man



Mixture of brown and black charcoal, figure drawing from my Crealde class. I love the style of this piece, he came out kind of as a futuristic style, with the sharp angles in his legs and high contrast of the lights.

Nude Girl



Quick powdered charcoal figure drawing from my Crealde class. I only had five mins to draw before the model changed poses, and then we wiped the entire paper back to the basic charcoal background, and started over with a new pose. It was kind of depressing spending time on these drawings only to never see them again. You can still see the remnants of an old image in the background that was erased and long forgotten, replaced by this one....so I started taking pictures of the finished product, before I had to wipe it clean!
