Two Collages made in response to a color reinterpretation of a figure drawing.

This is my 1st attempt at figure drawing with a long (2 hr) pose during my TSA drawing course. I still have much to learn, but I do see that some of the fundamentals of the drawing process are starting to sink in and am encouraged to keep working to improve

Red and black chalk (aka Verithin colored pencil) and white charcoal on sized paper.

I just started learning silverpoint. The best thing about this drawing is the arm. The face is a good likeness, but I think the head might be a little too large.

A tiny little shave ice and crepe store filled with monkeys. Hundreds of them. Everywhere.

Getting ready for the dermatologist. Self-sketch

A not so great model - good to look at but never really got the idea.

I happened upon a figure drawing class in an artist's studio in downtown Taylor, Texas. Who were they drawing? Look below. (Note the artist is the art on the wall behind him.)
