This is a blind-gesture sketch which was done without looking at the paper while sketching and without lifting the charcoal from the paper. This was difficult at first because I wanted to check to see my progress, but the exercise isn't about making the sketch look good. This is to practice capturing the weight distribution and movement of the model and comes more from the artist's feeling than technique.
Another blind-gesture
This is a schematic drawing, I call this, C
hick in a Chair.
This is a little different than the other sketches. For this exercise we used he side of the charcoal and shaded in the fom of the body, pressing harder where the shadows were darker and lightening the pressure on the charcoal where the shadows were lighter. Then we went back in with a charcoal pencil and used countour lines to define the shape of the body by holding the pencil lightly at the opposite end of the tip using the index and middle finger and thumb.
