Long pose

 This one kinda got away from me.  I had a really nice head and face about midway through the pose.  Then I realized I had the proportion of head to body wrong.  I needed a larger head so I erased the best part of the drawing and reworked her noggin.  It's okay, but it ain't as nice as the one no one gets to see.  Jenifer definitely presents some interesting problems to solve.

Happy New Year!

Some stuff from 2025.  I hope it only gets better in 2026.

The most fun to draw

 I had too much fun with this one.  Sure, it ain't finished but I was loving every minute of the 15 allotted to this pose.  The turn, the cast shadows, the way her cheek rests on her shoulder.  Fun.

Long and lean

 This one was a bit difficult for me.  Our lighting was not optimal for this model as I could have used more shadows to define shapes and masses better.  Of course, 10 minutes wasn't long enough.

5 minutes poses, parts 2 & 3

 A 5 minute head study and a 5 minute figure study.  The figure study is probably my favorite sketch from the session.

5 minutes, part 1

 This is just what it is, attempting to get used to the new model.  

Welcome to Jenifer, our newest model

 For someone who has never modeled for a life class before, Jenifer is a true natural.  Great gesture poses.
