Cally's back

I had to give this one up to the model... oh, well.  Can't keep 'em all.

Cally unfinished

If I had continued on this piece I would have fixed her head but I knew it was just a warmup so...

Update

The art sale for The Moss Mansion's "Party for Preservation" went well enough.  We sold about half of the artwork available.  Both of the pieces ( bobcat & griz) I previewed here sold so I am happy to have helped the cause.

A good start

Nice, simple shapes and no extraneous noodling with the charcoal give this a very solid feel.  I'm sure if I started working on the face and hair I would have felt compelled to "finish" this drawing.

The Griz defensive line

This is the companion piece to the Bobcat offensive line drawing I posted earlier.

Just tryin' to find my groove

Lot's of searching lines in this little head study.  I like the rounded shapes in her hand that mimic some of the shapes of her face, just giving the drawing a whimsical vibe.

Happy Labor Day

And yes, I am laboring today.  I'm keeping my latest batch of drawings another day since I will be missing a couple of sessions.  Here's hoping everyone gets their chores done early so that all can enjoy a bit of holiday today.
