Hiya, this shy gal was part t of my drawing practice yesterday (in 2D). I loved the shy, awkward pose of this model and tried to convay this in this minimal gestural piece..

So I decided to develop this piece further, getting textural effects on the paper and adding the vibrant ultramarine blue and black ink in the background. I really like the aged look of the paper now and the overall effect by adding the colour and background makes for a much more interesting composition.

Hi guys, here a few new charcoals that I've posted recently in my Artfinder store!.. I've recently started to mount all my available newsprint drawings on archival Japanese Rice Paper!.. This not only strengthens the integrity of the paper which is quite thin, but also I think helps improve the longevity of the paper!

1 minute Gesture Figure Drawing in Charcoal Pencil by Jacqueline Gomez

Among the zillions of practice gestures I do, it's lovely when I do create a gesture that I feel has enough esthetic presence as a stand alone piece while being unblemished by any other overlapping gestures that ruins an otherwise lovely piece.

I make it a point not to waste any thoughts creating 'artpieces' during these practice sessions though, promptly screwing up my filled up sheets of drawings, dumping them into the trash, before filling another sheet with even more quick gestures.

I have always loved these types of drawings though, framed and displayed. They require a certain amount of skill to create so quickly well and have an energetic, spontaneous, creative and classic vibe that longer poses can lack.

Thanks for the visit! :)
