Today I spent some time working with vine charcoal and newsprint in order to study some anatomy. I haven't done this in a long while and I really should do it more. Probably multiple times a week.
I generally start with terrible gesture drawings like this to warm up:
I only spent about 1 minute on each gesture. These are generally pretty bad so I don't worry about them as much. Next I spend a bit more time but keep the details simple with a few more poses:
After that, I then spend as much time as I want on a single pose and try to capture more fine detail than the previous sketches.
