Figure Studies, 2011. Charcoal on bristol board.

Last weekend, I went to a figure drawing session at the Kimball Jenkins art school in Concord. It's been a while since I've drawn a live model so i thought it would make for good practice. These are my most successful, I think. The one on the far left was from a 20 minute pose and is my favorite out of all of them. The other two were more rushed. The figure seated in the middle is my least favorite, which is a shame since it was such a good pose. I think it's the face that throws me off - I was in such a hurry to finish that I made a clumsy, last-ditch effort to finish before time was up.
(In the last one the model is holding a peach that I decided to render with a red pen)
