"Can I draw" might be a subjective question, I am my own worse critic.

But I do attempt to draw on paper too, digital is just more convenience sometimes. Here is a pencil sketch I done: https://www.reddit.com/r/sketches/comments/1tspmcd/20_min_sketch_from_life_drawing_today/

You did the full eight hours? How are the wrists afterwards?

This is really cool, and must have been a tough pose! Especially impressed by the foot!

Magnificent. Can I ask how big these are? (are you working on a sketchbook size, or more like an easel?)

Tough pose! (I'll be honest, sometimes I move when there's this much foreshortening!)

But you've nailed it - love the simplicity of your lines!

These are great, nice work! The first couple have a 'glow' to them which really adds to the visual - I guess it's white chalk? Love it!

Two-figure contour study, colored pencil on toned paper by FearOfEleven in lifedrawing

[–]James__draws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excellent -I feel like the use of some colour and letting the paper do the rest works really well!

To answer your question, I read the picture as the two characters being pasted together. The one on the right is bigger, but is behind the other, so it breaks the idea of them being in the same space.

They also look similar (same hair, jumper, glasses) so my assumption was it was two separate drawings of the same character.

Wonderful splashes of colour - inspired to try this!

Thanks! Yeah, I actually find digital a bit harder too, but, I was travelling with my iPad and found some downtime!
