For this month's Drawesome challenge to explore unconventional body shapes and sizes in art. No instagram ready glam here.

I'd been wondering what to draw, then I thought about all the wonderful and various models we've had for our life drawing, so here are a few of my sketches.

I've left out the models who were more conventional shapes, but we used to have such a great variety of people, I really miss those sessions!

Drawesome is a friendly, multifandom art community, and sets a monthly challenge. I haven't actually managed to do a fill for an age, but am just scraping in at the end of this one. 😂

Here's a charcoal drawing of an African dryad.

POC dryad

For those who like to know - it's on a roughish 100% cotton rag paper which I wouldn't use again for this media, it didn't work that well. I used ordinary charcoal, a blending stump (and my hand!) and a kneaded eraser.
Inspiration - mainly Adam Riches scribbly art style

This is a kind of fill for this prompt by a_starfish on hoodie_time's Dean H/C meme - boy there are some delicious prompts over there! I say kind of because it's a bit of a mash-up of prompts (Demon!Dean injured and trapped in the bunker, and Dean impaled through the leg/arm)
