These are a 15-minute study above, and two 20-minute ones below. The upper one is a combination of Koh-I-Noor and U-Art compressed charcoals, while the lower two are just the hard U-Art charcoal sticks. All are on 18 x 24" sheets of cartridge paper.
After the busy time in August and early September, I gravitated away from the exploration of fragmentary vignettes towards more full-figure studies. I was feeling like I wanted to be really solid in my basics. But that night I was getting dissatisfied with the full-body drawings as any kind of personal statement. So for the last two I worked on the larger-than-usual (for me) head study, and let the torso fill the whole page on the final one. It could use some more modelling on the leg, but is dramatic.
