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.

Thumbnail drawing in charcoal
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 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

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?

Thanks for the feedback!! I will keep that in mind. I'm looking forward to your book, I'd like to find a weed/ cacao combo where the flavors with together

I've used Rso and resin. Both were not bad but just a little weedy tasting, which I don't mind. But it's a little disappointing after spending 5 days making a batch of chocolate
