Figure Drawing Week 05

This week we worked on the anatomy of the hands and upper arms, with a new, female model.

For the last drawing, George suggested I try  making a gesture of the figure with charcoal and darker gestures in the outer, negative space, making only a few single lines to create the shape of the figure. At first this seemed complicated, but I really liked how it felt after a while to get loose with the drawing and not worry about making a mess.
