Cecil got his pose


 This was starting to round into its own.  Even at 15 minutes the time just wasn't enough to be much more than a sketch.

Some gestures



 Yep, I can confirm, without a group chat chain, that these are unclassified gesture drawings.

Sleepy time


 This was a challenging drawing from a lighting aspect.  I had difficulty getting enough contrast from the overhead lamps.  Oh, and the pose itself presented challenges, as well.  Luckily, I had 40+ minutes to work on it.  Could have used a couple of hours...

Back to basics


 Not a lot of detail to this sketch.  I was having fun with this, although I was constantly fixing the proportions.

Mostly outline


 This was starting to come into its own.  Not enough time to develop this one to the degree I would have liked.  Still, I'm happy with what I got done in the few minutes I had.

Hand on hip


 Pretty standard pose.  I'm almost always drawn to the flexed muscles or the folded skin more than the familiar aspects of the form.  Hence why I put more effort into the back on this drawing than the front of the figure.

15 minute knee study


 Fun to draw, as always.  Not sure how many people like to draw knees, but I know at least one.

Long pose, not my best effort


 40+ minutes.  Just a slog for me.  Not sure why I didn't connect with this drawing.  It just got messy and disconnected.  A classic pose that I just couldn't make work.  C'est la vie.

15 minutes and not a lot of progress


 I was having fun with this little study in shapes and shadow, otherwise known as form.  Just wish I were faster.

Shapes


 Five minutes and I like where this one was headed.  I even like where it ended.

Gestures... always gestures


 Don't get me wrong, I love doing gestures but they really don't make for a compelling post.

Success


 Well, I think it's successful in my eyes.

Long pose


 Using this paper was fun but it is a texture I need spend time with.  45 minutes just wasn't enough.

Finally, getting into the groove


 Perspective drawings are my favorite.  This was coming along well enough.  Needed more time, though.

Not much to see here

I still wasn't warmed up yet.  Fairly tentative little sketch.
