Comments

A superb and beautifully drawn sketch Fiona .

Very good Fiona, proportions and weight- bearing of the figures spot on.

Really well done Fiona.

Great sketching Fiona good movement in your figures. And a new one on me Warfies! You learn something everyday. 😀

Lovely work, great figure study.

Really good figures Fiona.

A great sketch, Fiona!

Paul, John, Marjorie, Stephen, Chris, Andrew, Tessa, Anne…woohoo, I’m chuffed you think the figures are okay……I’m rubbish with figures usually! A big thanks 😊

Very good. I admire anyone who can use charcoal Fiona, I get into a terrible mess with it!

Clearly you aren’t rubbish at figures Fiona. I totally agree with Marjorie

Superb figures Fiona! Do you get the powder everywhere? I would look like a chimney sweep after using it 😂

This is excellent figure work, a very good sketch

Nice work Fiona… great figures!

Brilliant Fiona!

Figures look great Fiona. Lovely work.

Really good sketch, Fiona.

Thank you so much for your positive feedback on my figures Frank, (so do I Frank, in fact yesterday I even managed to trail it into the sitting room which has a white carpet) Martin, Carole, Heather, Alan, George, Denise, Jenny. Thanks again!

Superb sketch which I’m not accustomed to see you do and figures I tend to shy away from but this is very good!!👍👍👍👍

Love these figures - great use of charcoal Fiona.

Thank you William. No not one of my favourite subjects, like yourself I tend to avoid them, but, I’m determined to try subjects I shy away from. Fed up of playing it safe! 😂 Many thanks Shaun, always appreciate your comment.

Thank you Cheryl, you are very kind.

Superb drawing Fiona, terrific use of charcoal.
