New paper...

 This one was really fun to work on.  Seth gifted me a sheet of Arches Text Wove paper and it was truly a joy to work on.  It came across as more academic than I normally would draw, but the process was really satisfying.  I'm even happy with the final study.  Mostly.

The eyes have it

 Oh, I was loving working on this.  Decided to take my time with it and not get obsessed with finishing the rest of her face.  If you drop by this blog you won't be surprised by incomplete studies and vignettes.  Just my thing, I guess.

Incomplete thoughts

 Just a little exploration in shapes.  Was enjoying starting to work out her face.

A ten and a fifteen

 Conté and charcoal.  Surprising that I got more done in 10 minutes than in 15?  Not really.  Sometimes I get lost in the lines.

10 one minute sketches of Samm

 The title says the bare minimum.  Samm just always gives us more than we expect.  These gestures may not show it, but her effort really gets us warmed up for her longer poses.  Super appreciate the effort and professionalism Samm gives us.

45 minutes of drawing joy

 Nothing more to say other than I had a blast working this one.  Such rich tones and wonderful shapes.  Fun, fun, fun...

The Thinker Reimagined

 Aside from the vaguely familiar pose, I just fell in love with how her body revealed the various shapes and masses that show how her torso bends and folds.  Just wonderful to draw.
