First day of spring semester! Naked people today. Last semester I drew in pencil. But this semester I’m going to try using more charcoal. I think this will be beneficial!
When models slowly shift positions during a pose, it makes me want to kill them. 
I’ve done figure modeling, so I know that it’s difficult, but come on! It’s pretty much the only prerequisite for the job. I don’t care if a model is hot or ugly or obese or super-skinny or 18 or really old, they just have to hold still…! Please! Gossiping about models is what art students do in their spare time, you know. We have pet names for all of them. Like “pedostache” and “Jesus tattoo.”
Yep.
I think I probably give people huge butts and long legs even if they don’t have such a thing :C The thing I have the most trouble with is the proportion of the head to the rest of the body. That and I’m still working on good principles of shading. I love linear styles, but I think mine is too linear and I should learn how to be more painterly. :C That’s how my efforts are directed during school.

good drawings,
and charcoal works really nice here.
Welcome back (and back to classes already?)
The bones x-ray view is supreme. I’m impressed!
(Unless, did the model take their muscular structure off for you?)
