Hey folks, I've been watching this thread for some time. Everyone has some great work. Thought I'd post some of my own life studies - unfortunately they are not so recent, but within the past year. Critique is very welcome!
Edit: For those who are curious, these are all done on Canson 18x24 paper. 2nd group are 5 minutes each the rest are long poses, about 3 hrs.

Here are my figure drawing studies. My drawings are not nearly as good as the other figure drawing things I have seen posted on this thread. I think I have a lot to learn. It's great to see everyone's work.

Wow, your figure drawings are fantastic. I really enjoy the line quality in the first one, specifically around the torso.

[MarcellusBR]

Hey guys! I´m Marcelo, from Brazil. I´m pretty much studying by myself, and that totally s**ks. This is my first life drawing with charcoal. Bit messy, but it was an attempt....

[dawnusllaw]

Today's efforts! Conte on Canson paper. @MarcelllusBR: That does not suck, sir, it's much better than my first attempt with charcoal!

[smilebeard]

just a question sirs, is there a big deference drawing from pictures and from live models?... i'm studying on my own and the only reference i have is anatomy books i downloaded from the internet...

yeah, one is making a 2d image from a 2 d image and the other is translating the real world into a 2d image, big difference. You can draw yourself using a mirror or you can go outside and draw people in real life both will be different than copying a static image. Copying is okay but at some point you will want to draw from life.

There's no figure drawing class in my city, and I barely managed to talk my boyfriend into posing for me this summer and this is what I got...







Now that it got cold again he won't pose anymore so I'm doomed with no model

This is a great thread. So many talented artists. Here are a few of mine.
