Gladiator parade #WIP I used to think I hated charcoal because in many classes I’ve taken we were always told to use it on newsprint. Turns out I just hate newsprint. Charcoal is worth another try if you had the same experience. Handles almost more like paint than like pencil in its reworkability. Values of this piece are mostly in place; starting to refine the details.

The complete sketch – swipe for full image. Had to redo the BG cuz I bungled the perspective the first time. :P but that’s why I do figures and BG on separate sheets of trace.

Can be tough to make a drawing of a statue not just look like a person but feel like I pulled it off? 🏛 The darker half of this wide composition is basically done. The side with the light source should be quicker.

Breaking theme a bit for this outer-space cook for #inktober 24 #chop – this is from another story I’ve got on the back burner (pun very much intended) – cuz how could I not do a cooking thing for “chop”?
