Figure drawing
Here's the first really nice product of this go-round at figure drawing classes (extended education offered by the university I work at, life drawing offered Saturday mornings all fall semester).
Putting in separate post from the kanzashi before and kittyspam after as it's rated a bit more highly than those two posts. Because the guy was nekkid. Although he had his back to me at the time. :)
The technique here is to take some soft charcoal and using one side of the stick lay down a rectangle that's a grey about halfway between the light color of the paper and black. Rub it lightly with a chamois (or paper towel, in my case) to set it in a bit. Then with your model posing under strong directional lights so you have interesting highlights and shadows, use your kneaded eraser to lift out highlights and your charcoal stick to lay in shadows. And your chamois/paper towel to even out ugly strokes or to 'erase' mistakes you make. :D
First time I've done this technique, too! Woo!

Soooo, will this be good practice for drawing the Nekkid Renji & Rukia doujinshi?
