Here’s my version of Karl from the live sessions. Would love to see the final version from other people who worked along with Ashley.

What was your favorite part of this whole piece? I loved doing the face and the vise.

Your version of Karl is awesome!
My favorite part - I enjoyed learning how to work with charcoal. My favorite part of drawing was probably the hands. They are the central part of the piece and I enjoyed trying to get the detail in them. The face was hardest for me and I’m still not happy with my version of the face. Somehow the beard looks off in mine. I like that yours is missing the beard :).

Thank you, Beth, and thank you for sharing yours here. This was such a great series of lessons.
The face was really hard! I can’t begin to tell you how many times I reworked his mouth! It was such a great learning experience for handling charcoal and figure drawing. I’m so happy to have discovered the live lessons and this forum and other amazing artists like you.

Thanks, June! The vise just about ate my lunch! 
Amazing work. So many details, Brenda and OriNebula!

Thanks, @sandheal I could hardly put this piece down. It’s my first real charcoal drawing, and I loved working on it.
