Drape Dance

I've been working on trying to improve my sketching skills in between jobs, particularly when it comes to capturing motion.

Here are some sketches I did of a model swinging a blanket around.

For this first page, I used a marker to sketch out the figure with a stick skeleton with the tip, before turning the marker on its side to fill in the rest of the body before going back in with a white paint pen to add in the highlights.

Obliviously that process was took too long to really be effective, so on page two I switched gears and just used the markers to draw the shadows, so that I could get a sense of form much faster.
