Life figure drawing

These 3 life figure drawings where drawn from charcoal, chalk and a rubber.
i feel that when using charcoal to draw a figure, i can create more dense detail lines as well as creating smooth edges.  i can then use the chalk to bring back some of the figures lighter parts and separate tones. when using the rubber, i rubb out parts of the charcoal to create  soft and rounded smudge marks which creates a fleshy texture. i then re use the charcoal to go back and fill in any other textures such as bone and muscle.


These figure drawings were very enjoyable and i am very pleased with the outcome. i feel that its important as an architect to be able to draw other objects besides materials and building designs, as it enables me to draw freely and fluent.
