Black Friday

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving, celebrating the holiday the way it suits you best.  This pose is how I ended up after the meal, passed out in front of the TV (which was fine since my wife was watching Lady GaGa... sheesh).

Another page of Paige

I really like this one.  I kind of stylized her face accentuating the eyes and changing a bit of the shape of her nose.

A bit of the tattoo

Paige has an intricate tat running the length of her spine.  I began the top and bottom of the body art but ran out of time to complete the entire thing.  I hope to finish this as well as the first back drawing I did of her a few weeks back.

Simple pose, simple sketch.  I like where this was going.

Gestures of Paige

A great night with a great crowd with Paige giving us some really terrific poses.  I really would have loved to have turned some of these into finished (or semi-finished) drawings.

One of my favorite poses

I never seem to get tired of drawing this pose.  Just so much to work with what with the perspective and the relaxed figure.

Very basic

It doesn't get any more generic than this.  Great shapes that became almost abstract when I was drawing them.  So many nice, long lines to throw.  It may not look special but I had fun doing it.

Second hour

Usually start to get better.  This is alright.

Getting used to the new model

It always takes me some time to get used to a new model, but she made it pretty easy on us.

Gestures with our newest model

Great night last night with a big crowd (for us) and a terrific new model.  We look forward to working more with her.  Some decent work came out of the evening and I'll post some of the better stuff next week.

Fave of the night

At least this time she has both eyes.  I really liked how this was turning out.

Torso

A rather soft rendition of Paige's torso, something I don't often do.  Once I realized I wasn't going any farther with the figure I spent more time just working the shadows.  I really like how this turned out.

Just her back

Basically just a start to a sketch.

Was really enjoying this one

Lost track of time.  Would love to finish this one off. 

Back to the drawing board

Paige returns and these are the requisite gestures from last night.  I did a couple of head studies that I am quite happy with.  They will be posted next week.

Love this sketch

I had a blast drawing this one and am pretty happy with the end result.  I love the look on Paige's face, all of the great shapes and how they relate to one another.  The dimension really comes through on this one.  Sure, more time, better paper and all that jazz would make for a finished piece but...

So so

Some stuff I like and some stuff I don't.  Not my favorite, that's for sure.

Movement

I like the ebb and flow of this pose.  Fun one to draw as well.

On her break

Not really but it was the last pose of the evening so she seemed pretty relaxed.

Some of the overflow to fill the coming week

Halloween cancelled our weekly session so it's back to the stuff I have saved to make up for the lack of new drawings.  I hope I can find something good...
