NUDE BODY SHAPES LINES CONTRASTS Pt5

Well, I'm pleased, did some more work last night, so I'm adding these to my Body Shapes Lines Series. More work with vine charcoal and conte, playing with light. Will give them a couple days to digest then do some touch ups where needed. They show well in real life, not as dark as here. Would look good framed in Black. about ll x9 and 9 x 9.

Thanks for looking. Comments and Crits welcome.............you learn something new everyday.

Young Woman -Vine Charcoal Drawing

Hope everyone had a good weekend......I'm posting a new drawing I did participating in an artist event this weekend. Worked with Charcoal and some graphite on this lovely young lady named Faith. My idea was to use as few marks and lines as possible to convey her image in grey tones first, and then do a painting perhaps, later. Done on 11x9 card stock, which worked pretty good for charcoal. What do you think??

Sketchbook Drawing #4-Young Woman

Another hot off the press. Quick study, I seem to be on a roll here, just want to do faces it seems.
All these are just impulsive. No pre thought to draw them. I just get an impulse when I see a image, or something, and grab a pen or pencil and some paper. I tend to like to use a pen, as then it hinders me from being able to erase. Still playing that game with myself. I've done quite a few more since the last posting, but I'm going to post this one from last night as I quite like her look and she was done very quickly and no real hitches. Still very rough drawings, I'm a messy artist. But this one is a lot cleaner than most of them LOL.
This is done with pen on 8.5 X 11 paper........

Have some paintings on the way.......you must be getting bored with these sketches by now!!!
Stay tuned......

Nude Body Shapes Lines Contrasts Pt4

What do you think?

Nude Body Shapes Lines Contrasts Pt3

Adding some more Body Lines to a series I started way back in Apr and May 07.
Just felt like working with some Vine Charcoal. Working with different Ideas.
Think these would look good together say six or so in a line or a square.
Each is 11x8 on black pastel paper

Above is another nude drawing I also did Friday night . This one is done with graphite, much cleaner to work with, but hard to get the dark darks. But I'm pleased with it. Another painting to come, but with very dark contrasts and background as in the charcoal. Think it would good. Again from my sketchbook so size is 11x14. Had to photoshop it a bit to darken, as graphite does not show up well when scanned. I need a new camera. :) What do you think?

NUDE BODY SHAPES, LINES, CONTRASTS

Was going to paint tonight, but somehow got into my sketch book, and did some experimenting with some willow vine charcoal, a study on minimal lines, and light. Sounds good huh, well, when it comes to willow vine charcoal and me, I make huge messes, all over everything. Tonight I now have a 4inch area on my light grey rug with squished charcoal, and dust all over my hands, and arms, and face, huge black marks everywhere......and I love it. I'll worry about the rug tomorrow.(Any suggestions how to get this stuff out??) Mine never turn out neat, and tidy like other artists, but I just love the feel of it, it's so light and airy to work with. 11x14. Going to do this with Acrylic, and see how it turns out in a larger size I think.

Ballerina Drawing Painting Backstage

Waiting Backstage
This is what dancers do, sit on the floor stretching, always extending their limbs, while they wait to go on. Always watching the performance on stage, waiting with anticipation. I love to watch them………......

NUDE BODY SHAPES LINES CONTRASTS

My first experiment with the female form. I quite liked the liberty I felt when painting her.....So her title. She's 20 X 16 acrylic on canvas. Now working on some more, larger format, and some drawings in charcoal and conte pencil . Too large for my scanner, will post when I get my new camera.
