Like all the charcoal figure drawings at this website, this was done at a life drawing session. There were about forty or so artists drawing and painting at that session. This was a twenty minute pose – the model was about twelve or fifteen feet away – on a small podium. He was leaning onto […]
This drawing was done on a Fashion Night sketch class. Understanding human anatomy helps immensely with drawing clothed models. Clothes hang from supports – draw the supports and the fold lines on the clothes that emanate from the supports.

Usually, if the light charcoal line isn’t in the right place, one can go back and draw a darker line […]
