Some drawings from last night's Wednesday evening life drawing session. I switch to pen and ink with watercolour when charcoal is being uncooperative. I use a dip pen and two brushes, one for the warm tones and one for the cold. The critical thing I've learned for the two-minute poses (top image) is to make sure that whichever one I'm holding in my mouth has its working end outward. Otherwise, anything goes, and if it's a mess, at least it's a colourful mess. The last one I was trying to make a bit more abstact. The animator on one side was talking about the line-of-action of the curving pose, so I was trying to exaggerate that, while the conversation on the other side (it's not the quietest drawing group) was about a pieta scene, so maybe that contributed to the somewhat gruesome look.
