Figure Drawing 7/2

After a couple of frustrating weeks in both the Figure Drawing Group and figure drawing class last night produced insight into seeing, analizing and rendering light and shade. These drawings go from begining to end of the class. This drawing is my first try with the fat charcoal.

In my opinion this drawing represents my best effort dealing with technique that Ben Shamback was getting us to try for rendering light and shade. This was about 20 minutes and obviously could use a lot more time.

The last was a longer pose, about 25 0r 30 minutes. An awkward pose from my angle and should have had been darker on the back in the core shadows.

Maybe it won't be so long to the next post.
