S&S got me into sketching in the first place! I can’t make this one, but maybe another soon.

Keep #creating even if not posting. All 1-min #warmups via @lineofaction.bsky.social #sketchbook #figuredrawing #justkeepdrawing

Four 5min #sketchbook #doodles of/from @beth-mg.bsky.social (the 3 in black from her website, the red from Bluesky, ph. credit Allyn Saroyan) I’ll make another couple attempts at the top left ballet pose—feels like a bird taking flight. #figuredrawing #draw #inktober

More doodles, fewer posts. The way it goes, right? #sketchbook #figuredrawing #gesturedrawing #modeldrawing #drawing #notsexuallyexplicit

I finally deleted my IG. Decided to be done with that platform: its ad-driven algos and inconsistent hypocrisy. #sketchbook #sketchpad #gesturedrawing #gestures #figuredrawing #timeddrawing #draw #chicagodraws #goodbyeIG

The old adage remains true: If in doubt, draw a circle. #sketchbook #doodles #pendrawing #humanfigure #figuredrawing #pensketch #doodle #gesture #gesturedrawing

#sketchbook Monday with Emory Aletha! Drawing live - even virtually - is refreshing and forces me to consider angles, postures, and gestures that I usually skip in flat reference media.

More #sketchbook #gestures and lines on page. The B&W full page #doodles are via @lineofaction.bsky.social (60 second timer) #figuredrawing #sketch #humandrawing #notai

My favourite of my #watercolor #sketchbook is an #abstract #doodle #chicagodraws

The evolution of my #sketchbook will be #watercolor. I did these summer 2023, before doubling down on figures and line work once again. #chicago #chicagodraws #urbandrawing

First few #warmupsketches of @whitney-masters.bsky.social from their shadowy #gestures #reference kit! Roughly 3 min timer on each, the foreshortening is going to be a good challenge this time. #sketchbook #pendrawing #chicagodraws #figuredrawing

@jeffmiracola.com inspired #macabredrawing based on his Ink Drawings Vol. 1. This is #notAI but a #drawing #sketchbook homage of an artist and illustrator I’ve admired for 25 years. #doodle #pendrawing #chicagodraws

#sketchbook #doodles commenced opposite my normal habit: drawn in pencil *then* added pen lines. #gestures #figureart #justkeepdrawing #gesturedrawing #fromimagination #sketchdaily #drawdaily

Another @sarascarletmodel.bsky.social doodle; no photographer credited. 5-min quick #pendoodle #sketchbook with just 3 colours of pencil after my #figuredrawing timer expired. #chicagodraws #fromreference #drawingjournal.

Wow, another amazing piece by @xenides.bsky.social inspired by a photo from @aaronrayburnphoto.bsky.social It perfectly captures the essence of the photo and moves into the fantastical :) I love it #art #figuremodel #referencemodel

About 20 minutes of totally Freeform #sketching in my #drawingjournal #sketchbook #pendrawing All done sans reference, too. Feels liberating to just #draw whatever comes to the page. #humanform #justkeepdrawing #silhouetteandshadow #chicagodraw

Longer and larger #sketches than my norm in this #sketchbook. I’m now two years into this drawing hobby—very very slowly losing the chicken scratch; though hands faces and feet are tough. Left #figure inspired by @modeladventurer.bsky.social right #unknownmodel #gesture #drawing #drawingjournal

Angles, lines, and a little depth; #figuredrawing #sketchbook #pendoodle #gesturedrawing Pose was *inspired* by a frame of @ayla-jay.bsky.social by @rr23photography.bsky.social

I felt my #sketches yesterday were total garbage and felt disheartened. Back at it today though and it felt good. 60-second initial timer, post color by crayon #artjournal #sketchbook #gesturedrawing #humanform #timeddrawing #nudegestures quickposes .com #silhouetteandshadowcommunity #chicagoart

It’s the middle of February and I’ve made it to my favorite #figuredrawings #gesturedrawing of the year. References inspired by @cb-modelling.bsky.social and @wianamodel.bsky.social #sketchbook #nfs #lifemodel #silhouetteandshadow
