Exercise: Energy

Energy 1

Energy 3

Energy 4

Energy 5

Again, this is Christine from Croquis Café holding the pose for between 2 and 5 minutes. Charcoal on A3. Drawings one and two, in which I used the charcoal on it’s side, feel as though they have the most energy and movement.

Christine’s neck seems to have disappeared in drawing 1 and 4 and I must watch out for this problem in future. I think the hair may have distracted me.

I feel I’ve more work to do to introduce energy to my figure drawings. Hopefully the May life drawing course at Gainborough’s House will help.
