Here are my lesson submissions that I have been working on this month. The first one is a follow along copy of this lessons video. The second one is a photo interpretation copy of the drawing on page 37 of the digital Torso Front and Back book, and page 34 of the printed version of the book. In the book, this was done with a ball-point pen, but I stuck with charcoal as I need all the practice I can get with charcoal. The third one is my interpretation of a Yoni image from the Yoni-Gesture poses pack here on Proko. I have not posted that reference photo as it contains nudity and possible copyright issues. The reference number for the photo that this is based on is 1a75 if you have access to that pack. As for the third drawing, I don’t consider it a finished drawing yet because I am still working on it in bits and pieces at a time. I am still refining the abdominal section for more clarity. I did find that when I printed the reference photo on a black and white laser printer, the abdominal section seems to be more clarified for drawing. Never mind the arms and hands. I need to do some focused studies on both the arms and hands. I feel that by doing the third drawing, hopefully it will help me break away from my tendency to copy other people’s work. All three of these are done in charcoal and on white bond printer paper. As always, critiques are encouraged and welcome! Cheers!

Here is my version of the translation drawing. Drawing the photo right now.

Here are my attempts.

👾👾these are goated. Thanks for great lecture.

Here I tried to focus more on the anatomy (following the assignment), than trying to copy the photo, although I tried to keep Yoni’s proportions. - (the drawing is with charcoal on newsprint)

I was supposed to do this one in ink, but was having so much fun doing another in charcoal that I kept going. I'll get to the ink though.

Trying harder.
