Charcoal Studies
I created these observational studies of a skeleton since starting my Foundation Diploma to refresh my shading and drawing skills and to really focus on the shape and proportions of the human figure. Here I have used charcoal on A1 sheets. I am pleased with the drawings on the left of the feet and the collar bone, elbow joint and lower leg, because I feel I've accurately drawn the proportions and shading. I like the style I have developed using bold, calligraphic outlines with the charcoal, which I intend to develop further by experimenting with Indian ink and computer software to mimic the calligraphic style. The proportions of the midsection drawings are not necessarily accurate, but I feel there is movement and character within them and I have captured the different tones. I drew the pelvis study on a shaded sheet of paper to provide a mid-tone. I like how the darkness and depth within the image contrasts with the striking white highlights.
