Skipping ahead to the long pose
Pretty happy with how this is coming along. I had to make a few adjustments and I still have a couple more before I can move ahead with this. Mostly the right arm and making sure the head and neck are correct. A really fun pose.

15 minute pose, part 2
I don't seem to be in a hurry these days, so I'm satisfied with partial drawings or vignettes. It's all a learning process. You're never too old...

The first of three 15 minute poses
I took the approach, as I seem to have been doing for some time now, of just working a section of the figure. For some reason, I've become fascinated with drawing knees. There is just something about the subtle shapes involved and the deep shadows in such small spaces. Hey, don't judge me!

Gestures of Samm part... well, I've lost count
I can't begin to tell you how much progress Samm has made since we first had her take the stand in March of 2022. We've been extremely lucky to have a model as dedicated to our group as many of the artists are. In some cases, more so. Thank you, Samm.

Ah, the one that made the evening worth it
Happy with the simplicity and basic nature of the shapes and mass. The line work is subtle and fits the piece. Yep, happy with this one.

45 minutes
Really felt like I'd like this one but, ultimately, not so much. Maybe if this were a 90 minute pose and I took a bit more time to really work this one out.
