Chocolate Mike

Can't believe I have charcoal pieces in two different galleries this month.

One of @brookeartmodel.bsky.social one of a life model Hannah, and two self portraits at my easel

Thanks so much!! I'm so happy you like it.

Here's another Pic to show the texture of the paint and charcoal.

Experimenting with texture in charcoal by exigencies on some studies I've done of the amazing pinhole series from @brookeartmodel.bsky.social

Really cool pic!

I'm going to need you to slow down in the awesome references,I draw way to show to keep up. ✍️🎨

Hi just posting that the photo below is a fake account. Just so people don’t get confused.

I'll share more when I'm finished.

I'm in love with this photo series

Thanks! I'm so glad you like them. I love the pinhole series and am working on more.

These playing card sized charcoal drawings inspired by @brookeartmodel.bsky.social pinhole photos are getting framed and will be in a gallery next week.

They also inspired this self portrait.

Thanks!! I love this series and will be doing some more work with them.

That i cut to about the size of a baseball card. Kind of like the idea of fine Arts trading cards.

This is of @brookeartmodel.bsky.social pinhole photo series

A couple quick sketch studies of one of the great photos by @brookeartmodel.bsky.social

Trying to find the time for a longer charcoal drawing of this one.

Finished up this pose from last week, about 4 1/2 hours in total. Alphacolor charcoal pastel, and conte stick on marker paper.

I'm fairly happy with how this one came out. The model Brooke gets a lot of credit for the great pose.

Life drawing class today. We had a great pose by Brooke. This is alphacolor charcoal pastel and conte sticks on marker paper.

Fun figure drawing class today. These are just a couple 10-15 minute sketches. Charcoal on newsprint.

Lots of great poses by jen

Life drawing today. Tried out super smooth marker paper with charcoal. It will take a little getting used to, but it feels nice to draw on. This was 2 hrs in total, and still needs some work. But great pose by Isabelle

Thanks man, I've been practicing

Today's figure drawing: it could use another couple hours, but the charcoal on bristol is feeling pretty good.

Excellent pose by Megan

This is such a nice image. Do you have reference images available for artists?
