Figure Drawing Techniques with Charcoal (part 2)

My continuation of my figure drawing demonstration. First off, my apologies. If you watched part 1; I was just getting started on the face. As you start this video, it's pretty much done. What happened was I ran out of storage space on my camera without knowing it, so I was working without getting recorded. But here I'll try and recap what got lost in the first half. Again, this is a long video, so if you don't want to watch the entire thing, here are the important topics: 0:51 - drawing hair 3:28 - adding dark shadows 7:09 - finally some outlines! 7:30 - adding highlights with white conté crayon 8:37 - back to the breasts 10:04 - more blending 12:07 - facial highlights 15:31 - bounce light 16:34 - skeletal and muscular structure of the torso 18:11 - hard versus soft edges 20:18 - using value to show a change in direction 22:30 - using the darkest value sparingly 28:10 - drawing the knee 29:12 - the figure in space 32:07 - the arm as a cylinder 33:51 - forearm structures 36:57 - keeping the fingers simple 44:00 - structure of the leg 45:08 - the success of the drawing as a whole 47:34 - cast shadows 51:10 - highlights and shadows on the breasts 52:24 - final details that take the drawing to the next level
