Long pose, last pose

 A pretty nice way to end the night with this 40 minute sketch.  I think I'm happy with pretty much everything that I put down and the stuff I left out.

Pretty happy where this one landed

 Sure, there's a lot of room to push this and make it something worthwhile.  But it was only 15 minutes and I think it pulled together quite nicely.

Promising...

 ...but not fulfilling.  Some nice form in here but just not enough to make it a keeper.

I felt pretty good 'bout this one

 Lost edges and a soft touch with the conte.  I am content with where this one sits.

Back at it

 I took a vacation that overlapped the two week schedule so I basically hadn't drawn from life in 4 weeks.  Not how I want to stay in art shape.  But I'm back now and we are on our regular schedule of every Thursday.  So, for your consideration, I present the gestures from Thursday's session.  Be kind.

Finally...

 

I spent most of the pose working on his face, of which I'm pretty happy with.  The rest I just kind of jumped here and there to give his head something to sit on.  And that brings to an end the first session with Orrin.

Yoga-ish

 This pose just killed me.  Not a lot to latch onto and as much as I adjusted the lighting I just found large shapes that didn't have a lot of connection.  Sometimes doing the best you can just doesn't reward one with a satisfying result.  Onward and upward...

Seated

 Started with the right leg and just kinda filled it in.  Simple line drawing, for the most part.

Linear study of Orrin

 I was mostly interested in getting the proportions correct and finding some of the ways in which the masses connected.
