Well, I get glimpses of something that I like. The crayons are starting to do interesting things. I’m still very much lost when it comes to the colors though. Anyone working regularly with these has my respect.

I am still trying out concepts and techniques to somehow get a grip on these crayons. It’s funny how I think that these would be better with some more decent proportions! Ha, I guess I have to keep practicing the basics.

Today I’ll post two pages, since I forgot my life drawing sketchbook that day. Would feel disingenuous to toot a page scribbled in just 10 minutes so I’ll post two pages of quick figure sketches.
Sketchbook page full of live figure drawings in pencil. They are made with quick line works, around 2 minutes each. Sketchbook page with figure drawings drawn from life un pencil. The poses were 5 to 10 minutes.

Jug. Wanted to post a page a day but I didn’t get to do that for a while. I feel dissociated enough again to post my sketches for the moment.
Page of a sketchbook with a lot of really scribbly line work. There is a figure standing stiffly pouring out a jug among other meaningless doodles

It’s been a while, I had very little energy for social media the past weeks after my exhibition (which went pretty well actually). Will resume posting pages from my sketchbook again as well.
Drawing with oil pastels depicting a seated nude. The head is cut off and there are a few weird floating bits and bops. 20 minute pose Drawing in oil pastels of a seated nude leaning on the side. They seem to be missing a leg. Oil pastel drawing of a nude seated from the side. They seem to head is omitted, didn’t fit on the page supposedly. 20 minute pose Drawing in oil pastels of an awkward leaning nude model. The drawing is turned to fit more on the page, the original angle of the pose is anyone’s guess. 20 minute pose

Still struggling, but I think I am slowly getting a hang of the coloring, at least?

Here’s another page. Was inspired by the shapes and lines of @helveticablanc , but found out that my talents and abilities aren’t enough to understand their skills. Oh well.
A page from a sketchbook showing pencil lines. Depicted are random figures, forms and abstracted designs. Oh, and a bunch of drawings of ink bottles for some reason.

Alright, here is another page from my sketchbook.
Sketchbook page with a bunch of pencil drawings. They are drawn quite faintly and not very well.

Doing another construction attempt. The idea is to push a drawing until it brakes. Cubes/perspective looks good? Slap those bones in! Bones look good? Put on the muscles. It works? Get surface anatomy and […]

Sketchbook page. It shows a few figures in the nude crudely drawn in pencil but also with some hatching to establish a basic illusion of light and form.

Another Page, this one is really quite random I think. No drawing that stands out to me.
Sketchbook page. Not much else really, a page scribbled full with pencil lines.

Alright, I’m back home and will continue my quest of showing off my sketchbook to the public.
