Figure Drawing



These are both 3-hour long drawings from my figure drawing class. Both still need some work, but I'm pretty pleased so far, especially with the female figure. I had some issues with my charcoal pencils when working on the male figure (they never sharpen right!!) so that got a tad messy. I stuck to graphite on the other one and that seemed to work out quite a bit better. I'm definitely seeing the benefits of using cross hatching when doing shading on the figure-it works really well and forces you to pay closer attention to subtle gradations in the shadows. I'm having fun in that class =)
