Gestural Line Drawing

I had great fun with these gestural drawings. I had to work very fast because the subject is my three year old daughter. I was very happy with using vine charcoal for this project. The charcoals have more of a free feeling for me. When drawing with charcoal even your oops tend to look just fine.

In this drawing the subject was climbing up onto a bed.

Here the subject it sitting with her feet under her and she is rubbing her leg.

In this drawing the subject is rubbing chap stick all over her face.
