Life Drawing

This week, we covered two A2 sheets n thick layers of charcoal. Using our erasers to draw with.

In my first lot of drawings, we only had a minute and a half to do each pose, overall we had six poses to do.  In my last drawing, we had to do a full sized A2 sheet of charcoal/eraser (Image above). Which we ever given 30 minutes to do.

 At first it was a challenge finding the right balance of pressure with the eraser and charcoal and their relationship together, as with any touch the charcoal came off; causing me to constantly reapply. Once I figured out the pressure and effects with the eraser, I was able to do shading and highlights.
