The subject is very nice and I like a lot how you threat the shadows.
Few weeks ago I decided to do some drawings me too, I found a book in which
there are a lot of fast sketches *women and men subject*.
They are drawings composed by simple lines only, but they works well. I
thought that the only way to learn is to copy these artwork, but anyway I
don't know how to reach the next step *try to replicate original live
subject*. Any advice?
Which kind of pencil are you using for your artwork?
cheers

well I'm going the other way, first I taught myself to replicate and
produce a photo real image. now I'm learning how to draw using simple lines.
I'm currently reading "Illustrating Fashion Concept to Creation", which
leads to drawing with simple lines.
I'm using very primitive tools usually Manila Paper and 2B - 6B pencils,
I also have a Graphic Stick and all kinds of erasures (Pink, white,
Artist's Erasure!!!, Paper Mate Erasure sticks).

That's a nice one, Rastin. Hand in front looks good tho still slightly boxy.
Lighting/shadowing detail around the clothing folds can be addressed for more
dimension. Fold a shirt and note the gradient shadows and how they resize under
different lighting angles. Look at the texture of fabrics and weaves and
practice short, quick or long delicate strokes to imply grain or pile.
[look for books or tuts on stippling, hatching and crosshatching to get you
acquainted with dimension and shadowing with pencils or inks.ya and buy a good
pencil sharpener. lol]
Are you copying these out of a book? Try some real life still set ups [objects
or people] of your own and note the shadows and how they change with
directional/ambient or varied types of lighting such as candles or spotlights.
A tip from my life drawing instuctor: "don't forget your backgrounds and
horizons. Or are they floating in mid-air!?" [stern look down his nose at
me...sheesh]
How impressive these drawings of yours are, Rastin! Keep up the good work!!

I love manila paper. You've got to try some gray charcoal paper and some
buttery cream stock.

Thank you Gem, yes I was less stiff drawing this one, yet I need more
time and practice to get that nice flow.

I like the way it's very vivid and loosely drawn. Especially like the
soft cloth feel of the sweather and the strings of the left shoe.
Thanks for sharing!

wow What a sweet thing to say! But you're a pretty determined and focused
individual so I'm thinking you'd have pushed on. ;)
the very Best to you and yours.
