Can't believe I have charcoal pieces in two different galleries this month. One of @brookeartmodel.bsky.social one of a life model Hannah, and two self portraits at my easel

Experimenting with texture in charcoal by exigencies on some studies I've done of the amazing pinhole series from @brookeartmodel.bsky.social

Hi just posting that the photo below is a fake account. Just so people don’t get confused.

These playing card sized charcoal drawings inspired by @brookeartmodel.bsky.social pinhole photos are getting framed and will be in a gallery next week. They also inspired this self portrait.

Thumbnail drawing in charcoal That i cut to about the size of a baseball card. Kind of like the idea of fine Arts trading cards. This is of @brookeartmodel.bsky.social pinhole photo series

A couple quick sketch studies of one of the great photos by @brookeartmodel.bsky.social Trying to find the time for a longer charcoal drawing of this one.

Finished up this pose from last week, about 4 1/2 hours in total. Alphacolor charcoal pastel, and conte stick on marker paper. I'm fairly happy with how this one came out. The model Brooke gets a lot of credit for the great pose.

Fun figure drawing class today. These are just a couple 10-15 minute sketches. Charcoal on newsprint. Lots of great poses by jen

Life drawing today. Tried out super smooth marker paper with charcoal. It will take a little getting used to, but it feels nice to draw on. This was 2 hrs in total, and still needs some work. But great pose by Isabelle

Today's figure drawing: it could use another couple hours, but the charcoal on bristol is feeling pretty good. Excellent pose by Megan #nudeart #figuredrawing #charcoaldrawing #lifedrawing

Portraits are hard. Challenging myself to work on portraiture in life drawing today. Charcoal on newsprint
