Quick Figure Study

Graphite on Cartridge 42 x 30 cm

A quick excercise to draw the figure study using mostly line.

I have to admit, I find this a much more difficult excercise than 

just drawing using light and shade as the areas. Here I just wanted 

the line alone to describe the volumes and masses. 

Thanks for looking :)

A couple of plein air sketches..

I got involved this week with the Plein Eire group's, seven day drawing challenge. 

Complete a plein air drawing each day for one week. 

Of the  drawings I managed to fit in, these I think, are my favorites.

Both were completed using Derwent pencils, and a medium oil pitt

on 160lb acid free cartridge.

Thanks for looking :)
