This is the first full-body contour drawing I did. I drew it in pen, so I had to pay attention to the proportions because the lines I was making were pretty much irreversible. Aside from that, I loved using the pen because it seems like it would be 2-D, but I like that you can really focus on the details and creating them without adding value. I think it looks good, but the legs are a little too small. I also could've added a background and drawn more of the folds and detail in the clothing and hair because it looks pretty boring just as it is. This is the last practice drawing I did before attempting my final. I like this one way better than the first and I can see my improvement. For one, using pencil instead of pen helped a lot because I could get things more how I wanted them. I also added value using different charcoals, and even though I only spent five minutes shading, you can already see the depth. I like how you can tell how thick the jacket is, and I think I did a good job on the hands, something I thought would be difficult. Obviously these drawings would look different from each other anyways just because of the different media used, but I love doing these drawings because they're quick and fun, and you can't tell that they only took twenty or so minutes to do.
