Figure drawing

These are sketches from my figure drawing class. The first two are schematic sketches which focus on the parts of the body geometrically. This is done using the side of a conte crayon.
This is a gesture sketch of a female. A gesture sketch is usually done quickly keeping continuous contact of the charcoal on the paper. This teaches the artist to relate/empathize with the model and become kinesthetic with the model, capturing the movement and weight distribution of the figure. It also is a way to practice seeing the figure as a whole and is a technique used to practice filling the whole paper with the figure.
