Getting started on Draw Everything June!

I've decided I'm going to treat DEJ like an extension of the figure drawing class I took last semester, so I can keep maintaining those skills. That means probably no character art or even particularly polished drawings--just lots of gestures and anatomy practice.

I don't intend to do two of every pose, but I felt like I needed to start with quick warmup gestures and then I decided to do some slightly longer drawings. It was surprisingly uncomfortable to work like this--probably because I'm a bit out of practice, probably because I've gotten used to working big and at arm's length. I might get out my big drawing board for the next few so I can work bigger, instead of propping a largish sketchbook on my knee.

The gestures were all done in a minute or so, with vine charcoal. I mixed it up with the slightly longer drawings. Day 2 is the only one where I really bothered with contours, because I had two layers to refine it. I did a rougher pencil sketch and then put contours on top in pen. (You can see me correcting where the feet went). Day 1 was fun and angular--I usually struggle with the "draw the body out of flat planes" kind of studies, but with this pose it came pretty naturally. The day 3 pose was hard for me, and i went through a couple false starts in pen before switching for pencil for a different feel. It's a really dramatic gestural pose but I found it harder to refine.

Probably going to keep doing these in batches, since it's easier to warm up and draw for longer sessions. I'm going to try to keep posing them on tumblr as I go, too. Hopefully it'll be some extra motivation!
