Life Drawing Class #2

So, today was the second life drawing class and I didn't know it was possible, but my hands got even more covered in charcoal than they did last week. There were more explosions from my charcoal, with pieces chipping and flying everywhere as I was drawing. I think I have become even more enthusiastic now that I have discovered the wonderful world of charcoal.
Even though we had a different model and different poses this week, the structure of the class was the same as the last:
-five sketches with two minutes of each pose, which unlike the previous week, wasn't my best one. I think it's because I had to draw over each sketch, so the page looked really messy. I think next week I'll attempt smaller sketches to put on the one page. However, so far, I've realised I draw "big and bold" rather than "small and tidy."
- then two sketches of five minutes:



-followed by two ten minutes



-and instead of a single forty minute piece, we instead did two twenty minutes, which I preferred doing. This is because last week I found that the forty minute one was too long having finished the body by half that time, so I felt compelled to do the finer details and attempt the face to fill in the remaining minutes. And the face I drew didn't come out very well, so this week I promised myself to not try to draw faces.
