Hey y’all,
I just attended my first live model session last night, I wasn’t able to attend til the 7-10 minute poses.
These are on 18x24 with charcoal (never used before). And I want to improve my line and gestures!
If you have any advice for my next session next week please feel free to share!
thanks for your time!

To improve your line, you have to do two things: Make sure you are using the side of a charcoal stick on a smooth newsprint pad- and draw sweeping lines using an overhand grip and drawing with the whole arm from the shoulder.
Think gesture not detail or anatomy.

Thanks for the feedback Steve, I took your advice, did some extra studying and applied it to my latest session! These are in order from 90 second poses to 8 minute poses.
I've never drawn at an easel before, so that was new, and having a live model that wasn't overly muscular was also a new challenge!
