Gestures of Miss P

 Another day in paradise.

Favorite of the evening

 I'm really happy with where this is going.  There is a subtlety and nuance that makes me smile.  Pretty pleased, if I do say so.

The long pose

 Not my favorite sketch of the evening.  Her left arm really presented some problems for me and 35 minutes just wasn't enough time to get it right in relation to the rest of the piece.

Profile

 

Again, lost edges and some cast shadows.

Simple profile

 Lost edges and cast shadows.  My favorite kind of drawing.

Gestures of good will

 10 one minute sketches.  Enjoyable throwaway art.

Simple

 My favorite drawing of the evening.  This started out as just a study of her arm and ended up becoming a drawing in progress.

Tilted

 I was really starting to enjoy this drawing.  The tilt of her head, and that tension in her left arm.  All of the shapes and shadows making some compelling forms.

First head study of 2025

 This was coming into its own, although there are some fixes that I'd like to implement, as usual.

The first long sketch of 2025

 There are only a few aspects of this that I'm happy with.  Her face just didn't work out for me even though there is a lot to work with.

Lady in Red

 Second drawing of the new year.   Pretty happy with it, as much as one can be happy with a 10 minute sketch.
