This quick portrait was done in graphite and willow charcoal, based off a reference photo from one of my ArtTutor.com classes (unfortunately, I don’t remember which one).

This sketch was based on a reference image provided in the ArtTutor.com class “Drawing the Human Figure & Life Drawing Techniques”.

This study is based off a reference photo used in Jane Lazenby’s “Drawing the Human Figure” class on ArtTutor.com (which is closing in March 2022).

This drawing is based on a photo by Clem Onojeghuo on Unsplash which was used in the ArtTutor.com “How to Draw Portraits (in Graphite) by Phil Davies.
I did this portrait using charcoal and graphite.

This was done in vine charcoal, and was based on a reference photo and lesson in the “Sketching Places Quickly” course by Phil Davies on ArtTutor.com.

This is based off a reference photo from an ArtTutor class I took. Vine charcoal on toned paper.

This is another piece I did, based on the ArtTutor.com class “Studies in Charcoal” by Joann Boon Thomas. Same vine charcoal, and toned paper. This reference photo was one of the instructor’s based on a life drawing she did. I need to find a life drawing class myself, although with Covid, it might be an online/Zoom version.

With this art tutorial website going away in March, I’ve been making an effort to use my membership, and one of the online classes I did was Joann Boon Thomas’ “Studies in Charcoal”. This drawing was done on Strathmore toned paper, using medium vine charcoal (which is extremely forgiving — i.e., easy to erase with a kneaded eraser.) The reference photo was provided in class.
