Detailed Speed Drawing

Today I decided to do a speed drawing. In three hours… which doesn’t seem to be that fast, but it is fast ‘for me’ when I try to draw with this amount of detail. I know that people could probably do it faster, and others could also do it better, but this is why it’s called practice. Either way, I’m still proud of this drawing study. I’m still not used to using charcoal, but it’s turning out a lot cleaner. Right off the bat I realised that it doesn’t erase as cleanly as I expected it to… so I had to change my tactic (you can tell in the dirty buckles on the top most part of the harnest. It’s nice to get back into drawing. It’s been since before Christmas!
