"Brant"

Brant is a model that I have known for about 10 years. He is the most amazing model. I had the opportunity to sketch Brant 2 months ago and was very happy with my drawings. Again I used Newsprint paper with Ritmo 2B pencil.

" Carina Reclining II"

Drawing from the live model is what I enjoy most. The alla prima study is exciting and also frustrating. This 15 minute pose was rendered on Newsprint paper with Ritmo charcoal pencil #2B.

"Facing "

These are two 5 minute studies of the same model also done at COC Drawing Lab. It was rendered on Newsprint paper with Ritmo charcoal pencil # 2B. I enjoy the short poses the most because it allows me to think quickly with my lines.

"Carina Reclining"

This was done in COC drawing lab last month. I was really inspired by the grace of the model and the sensitivity of the pose. I used Ritmo charcoal pencil # 2B on Canson Pastel paper.
