These were the first couple of efforts of the night and I still hadn't found my groove. The back shot had the most going for it but I wasn't able to account for the subtle shifting of the model, an occurrence that happens with any pose requiring a twist to the torso. By the time my brain engaged I realized that all I had to do was move the easel slightly but I had already placed darks and the left arm and... well, I had already screwed up. The full figure sketch was more of a "measure twice, draw once" kind of problem. It was the first drawing of the night and I leaped before I looked. They did get better as the night went on, I promise. Especially when I decided to make a return to a different drawing medium. Stay tuned.
