Miss S from start to finish

 The life sketch is a long pose that I really didn't get as far as I intended knowing full well that I was eventually going to finish this in the studio.  The tattoos are quite the challenge but they do bring out the personality of the model.

Head study of Patience

 The five minute study from life...

to the somewhat finish in the studio.  I'm not completely pleased with this as the reference photo just wasn't that good.  Still, I was able to make some adjustments, namely her nose, and get a somewhat nice little portrait study out of it.  I may go back to it and push the contrast a bit more to give the finish more depth.

Gestures of Patience

 Patience just does a super job whenever she steps on the stage.  We're very lucky to have access to the current group of models.  They all just do a wonderful job.

Tats: From start to (almost) finish

I still have a large tree tattoo to place on her upper back.  It's very detailed and I want to make sure it is accurate. 
 

Lady S from start to finish

The five minute sketch...

and the somewhat longer finish.  This was fun to work on.  Wondering when I am going to start working on better paper so that I can get a really solid finish.
 

Gestures of Lady S

Lady S took my direction to heart and gives us four views of the same pose during our gesture portion of the evening.  It's fun to compare the drawings as one is working on the next and see how the musculature relates around the figure.
 

Finished "Patiently Waiting"

 I had some time on my hands this weekend so I finished a couple of the life drawings from our last session.  Pretty happy with this one.  I usually don't get to take my time with the likeness so this was a treat.
