Standing male nude: studio sketch
Charcoal on paper. 2005. Standing nude model. Art class.
Another fifteen minute life-drawing pose.
This time I started with some broad strokes with the charcoal on its side and then drew in the outlines. As usual I have used guidelines to aid the composition, either constructed (the vertical line from the middle of the head to the middle of the forefoot), or existing (such as the shelf and the line where the floor meets the wall).
