A Month of Fresh Figure Drawings (D)

Lately I've been participating in a self-imposed #figuredrawingFriday and have really been looking forward to ending each week with some (hopefully) quick gesture drawings from reference.  It's been fun to look up unknowing models and try to find different kinds of people and poses.  Here's the inaugural set:

Adventurer (D)

This guy was born many years ago out of a need to feel like I could still design original characters.

A Trio of Hairsprayers (D)

Songs that come up on my shuffle sometimes inspire me to post older art which then inspires me to paint it five years later. Amber has had a makeover.

MerMay Kick-... erm... Flip-Off? (D & J)

That just doesn't sound right.  And I guess mermaids do kick...  But oh well.  Apparently #MerMay is a thing (and also #MermaidMonday?), so J and I did a few mermaid Sunday Sketches last week to celebrate.  It was fun!  Here are mine:
And now, back from a little hiatus, I'm happy to welcome back J, who had this to say: "er mer gersh merberbers".
And look at that, they're (respectively) in pen and pencil!
