Gesture Drawing - Week Two

This past session, I decided to focus on observational sketches to study details of the model, any unique landmarks or features to give more specific personality to the poses. Here's some 2's in charcoal & conte crayon.

After our first class-critique, I relaxed a bit with some pens @ 3 minutes.

While I tried to avoid complacency I (admittedly) fell back into my old habits...doing the same sort of loose, simple gestures that defines my comfort zone. It's like candy!...and I like candy, is that so wrong? (it is.)

...I'll have to focus a little harder not to fall into this and stick to what I want to improve on.

And a few quick 1's to end the class in conte crayon.


TO THE END OF COMPLACENCY!
