Charcoal, liquid ink and ink pen anatomy sketches.

Liquid ink shadow sketches.

Liquid sketches were difficult as the ink is hard to control the first time around. I found the brush would lose ink quickly and re-dipping would be obvious on paper.

Visualizing just the shading was a compelling task. The fact you can see the body without the outlines proves my techniques can be transformed into better drawings.

Pen ink triangle anatomy sketches. 

I grew up seeing and studying many animations with triangle lined humans, so this task was a delightful revisiting. If I can go from triangles to animation of real life drawing it will be incredible and I hope to do so.

Charcoal shadow and anatomy sketches.

Charcoal was dirty, and I found I was not working with the charcoal, but against it. It seemed to never represent and visualize how I wanted it look. Needs practice. Sketching with a rough item was counter intuitive to me.

Ink pen outlines sketches.

Sketching outlines was a work of negative space. I need to improve using just one line instead of many lines. One line can mean a lot of things.

Ink pen anatomy sketches.

Charcoal full page anatomy drawing.

Charcoal details were hard and difficult to master. I think the shading was nicer on the detailed character, but the representations need more work. Proportions need to be worked out before the detail.
