Marker drawing of a woman’s portrait done in various shades of green, with green shadows, highlights, and mid-tones creating a stylized look. Her lips are pink, adding a soft pop of color that contrasts and complements the green tones

not feeling the greatest but also too type A to lounge around & do nothing — here’s a quick drawing done in marker just to make myself feel somewhat productive

Charcoal and soft pastel drawing of a woman shown from head to midriff. She wears an off-the-shoulder, long-sleeved shirt. The artwork combines soft and hard charcoal, both stick and pencil, with soft pastel for subtle tonal variation

1.5 hour study

Mixture of charcoal & soft pastel

Portrait of a woman with short black hair and baby bangs, drawn in oil pastel and charcoal. She wears a blue sweater, and her face is flushed with heavy blushing. The background is mauve with streaks of pink, blue, and yellow drawn across her eyes and softly smudged, symbolizing a reflection on not seeing or choosing to ignore what’s in front of her

“I’m blinded by my own reality”

most pieces I’ve created are just simply for practice… but this piece was created out of anger & grief. it’s somewhat a reflection of choosing to not see truth

maybe I’ll share more about this particular piece at a later time

Oil pastel and charcoal drawing of an Asian woman with long black hair wearing a loose, red flowy shirt. The background is teal with expressive blue swirls, creating contrast with the warm reds in her clothing. The piece has a rich, textured look with strong use of reds and blues throughout

I call this “you can’t see my hands”

experimented with some color for once in oil pastel + some charcoal

I didn’t have much of a plan for this and I’m happy I didn’t. I find when I try to for-see how a piece will turn out; it never lives up in my mind

Thank you! I’ll be looking into these options :)

happy you do Zach!

Charcoal study of a woman draped in a sheet, capturing movement and texture through expressive shading. The piece uses both hard and soft charcoal sticks to emphasize the folds of fabric, the fluidity of form, and subtle areas of wetness

2 hour charcoal study of movement and texture. Pretty pleased with how this one drawing turned out

Anyone know good channels or hashtags for art model reference photos?

I don’t really want to draw too much nudity. Looking for a happy medium when it comes to that

I think incorporating poetry with traditional art could work great together with one account!

An expressive ink portrait of a woman created using fingerprints to form her features and shading. The first image shows a close-up view highlighting the textured, organic details

The second image shows the same portrait taped to a wall above a desk, giving a sense of scale and workspace context.

Something a bit looser and expressive

charcoal drawing of the model Twiggy, rendered in soft tones with subtle shading and minimal highlights

I framed this drawing, so all I have is a photo of it instead of a scan

I used Twiggy as a reference, but didn’t quite capture her likeness too much

Pencil sketch of a nude woman drawn with a 0.5 mm pencil. The figure is rendered softly with attention to form and shading

Currently scanning all my drawings over the past 6 months or so 😭

But as I slave away over these scans, I’ll share this one from over 5 months ago. it still holds up being a decent quick sketch
