I continued practicing more of Daumier and Kollwitz's styles and feel satisfied with my recent pieces, which were completed with the help of a live model.
- The first is in the style of Daumier, done with a ball point pen. By changing medium I found myself looking to get used to the feel of the pen in order to get a more accurate scale of the model's proportions. - The last three were all done in conte and were in the style of Kollwitz. I did a few 2 minute gestures, which I found myself getting the proportions correct in the fourth pose, which I am really happy with. The final one was a 30 minute study with direct light sources in order to get a higher contrast for the model.

Here a few practice studies of Kollwitz and Daumier styles, respectively. The Kollwitz study was done in China Marker and the goal was to create strong contrast in shapes to create the overall image. Daumier was done in coloured crayon and was done by repeatedly drawing lines to fine the correct form for the gesture and model.
