Male back

A quick back study from a few months ago.

Lady L from a while back

Nice start... may try to finish her face somehow.

Just takin' a breather

Took some time away to enjoy the holiday.  I hope you did the same.  My model looks to be doing just that.

More Cast Shadows

Simple shapes with heavy shadows make for a solid image.  Sometimes leaving out detail makes all the difference.

Conté in situ

I can live with the state of finish on this one.  Sometimes I start channeling other artists and I have to pull myself back.

Hung up on the design element

I saw some great symmetry in this pose but failed to really get a good drawing out of it.

Gestures of Lady B


Good to be back at the easel again.  Lady B filled in late for us and turned in her usual stellar poses.

Simple

Was intrigued with the profile of her face.  Minimal and simple.

Archival Adrianna

Very fun pose and a wonderful exercise in drawing some extremes.  Adrianna has some great edges to work with and I hope we have her back in the future.

Unfinished hair

and feet.  I like the flow of the figure, especially the right hip and leg.  The strokes of the shading adding the the feel of muscle along the lower back and buttocks.  Fun little sketch.

This must be from March or early April

Hey, look, another right eye missing.  I wonder if this is because I'm right handed and start from that side of the page.  I have tried getting better about placing both eyes at least, whether I finish them or not.  It's interesting to me and frustrating.  Still, I like what I was able to get done on this and would like to finish it someday.

Long braid

Whenever I get to draw braids I think of Wyeth's "Helga" series, which I love.  Makes it a bit more fun for me.

Just gettin' started

Didn't feel like rushing this one.  I was happy with the basic drawing that I didn't hurry through to a finish.  Would love to work out her right shoulder and just finish the upper back.

Core

A little study of Lady A's midsection. Some fun shadows in this sketch.

Lady B takes a nap

A longer pose to end our session.  Some nice shadows in this one.  Would like more time for the face but I can't have everything, can I.

Sleepy head

Simple little head study.  Lady B has an almost Gibson Girl face and it sometimes influences what I actually see.

Knees

Would love to finish this one day.  Some cool relations going on with this one.
