Gestures and something more

At least this time I brought my glasses.  Not sure it made that much difference.

Lady A

Okay, I kinda like this one.  Kept it vague and heavy and very modeled.

Lost edges and some shadows

Some shapes and shadows.  And yes, it's all I could see.

Another blind sketch

Well, I may as well have been blind.

Lady A with a twist

As I stated Friday (and will through Thursday) I was stupidly without my glasses so I was really struggling with seeing the drawing.  No fine linework, that's for sure.  Very, very frustrating.  Lesson learned, believe me.

Gestures of Miss A

I forgot to pack my glasses last night so drawing was a bit of a challenge last night.  Even the gestures felt different as I couldn't focus real well.  Heh, I think it forced me to ignore the details in favor of shadows and shapes.

Adrianna reclines

From the first session with Adrianna.

Four fingers and a thumb

A hand sketch.

First canvas drawing

I've posted my witch drawing and the raven drawing so I may as well post the first one I did on canvas.  I enjoyed this one a lot and it came out much better than I thought it would.

Back to Lady B

With fall approaching I guess going back to the spring is the thing to do.

Into the archives

I wasn't able to make the session last night so I'll pull out some of the drawings from older evenings.  This is one of Lady J.

Last one... really

I warned y'all that I was focused on her face.

Last pic of the night

Her features are just too much fun to ignore.  Spent almost the whole session just drawing Adrianna's face.

Linear profile

Bit of a theme starting here.

Start... stop... restart

The model moved significantly from where I was starting.  I know this happens but it usually isn't so significant that I can't use my initial marks.  Just wanted to show the start and then where I finished .  I really prefer the initial pose and I became fairly frustrated and I think it shows in the sketch.  A couple of the other artists liked what I ended up with but it just doesn't appeal to me.

Gestures of Adrianna

I spent most of the evening drawing our model's face.  These represent the majority of the actual figure sketches.

Fun

This was my favorite sketch.  I like the rough nature of the technique and the elongated pose Adrianna took.  Very organic drawing for me.
