Can't believe I have charcoal pieces in two different galleries this month.
One of @brookeartmodel.bsky.social one of a life model Hannah, and two self portraits at my easel

Finished up this pose from last week, about 4 1/2 hours in total. Alphacolor charcoal pastel, and conte stick on marker paper.
I'm fairly happy with how this one came out. The model Brooke gets a lot of credit for the great pose.

Life drawing today. Tried out super smooth marker paper with charcoal. It will take a little getting used to, but it feels nice to draw on. This was 2 hrs in total, and still needs some work. But great pose by Isabelle

Today's figure drawing: it could use another couple hours, but the charcoal on bristol is feeling pretty good.
