Long Pose Drawing from Life

What’s a long pose? Here at School of Realist Art, a long pose is one which lasts at least 2 hours. The pose in this drawing was about 2.5hrs in total, with a break every 20 minutes for the model.
In this video, you can see how the drawing is slowly built up with structural marks, almost like scaffolding. Initial marks are light, straight lines done in vine charcoal, and shading is added gradually with General’s compressed charcoal pencils.
