Basics Day 1

I decided to practice observational drawing as I haven't taken part in life drawing for a couple of years. I wanted to complete a few basics through a tutorial channel on Youtube. It's been very useful so far and it's helping me to break down the image that I'm trying to draw.

I first practised creating 'bean' shapes from the core of the body - torso and pelvis. This then developed into a cubed structured shape.

Finally I practised 2-minute drawings; trying to form the image through gesture and a minimum amount of drawn line. I want to feel more confident with this in particular.
