Life drawings from photoreference: high-res scans #139 (Patreon)

Once again, I'm doubling up with these latest (well, latest to post) sets of life drawings from random photoref. First above is an abdominally focused, movement-oriented set from May 2017 based on stills from a bellydancing video, followed by an October 2017 sketch that was my first attempt at working in charcoal since taking Figure Drawing class at the Kubert School back in the late 80s. Note that this was also my last attempt at messing around with charcoal in the modern era, as I quite thoroughly disliked the experience; I vastly prefer working in a medium and original size that correlate more closely to my "day job" drawing comics.

Note that we've (rather a while ago) crossed an important threshold with these posts—both sketch sets are dated from 2017, meaning that the end of my once-formidable buffer of life drawings is in sight, if still rather a long ways off, as I cranked out life drawings almost daily through that year. So, folks, I might need to switch to single-set posts at some point later on in 2022. Gasp!

Below, enjoy the higher-res, raw and untweaked grayscale scans as PSD attachments.

NEXT TIME ON THIS HERE PATREON: Not really sure, due to the semi-randomized M/W/F posting schedule I'm using nowadays. Let's find out together, shall we?

UPDATE: February's Exclusive Monthly Bonus Post for the $10 & $20 tiers will likely go up on Monday, come to think of it. Not yet sure what that's gonna be, though!
