(2021-02-26) Figuary 2021 day 26 - triptych. This is still one of my favourite sheets of multiple poses that I've done. There was storong light source, which I think adds consistency across the three. With @croquiscafe.bsky.social

(2021-02-21) Figuary day 21 - got a bit intense on this. Lots of putting down dark 5b marks and then trying to get some of it off again to reach mid-tones. Oh well. With @croquiscafe.bsky.social
