Gestures plus one
The gestures and a five minute exercise in futility. The above sketch was me trying to draw a horizontal pose in the vertical, making the adjustments in my head. First, if I were to do that again (as it was a total failure) I would take more than five minutes to try and work it out. Second, I'd probably not try it again.

Final sketch from the last session
Long session. This started to come together and I delved into some more of the in and out aspect of shadows being shared across the figure. This is something I really want to explore more.

Okay, I can get behind this one
This starts to feel more like me and what I see when I draw. The lost edges, the shading and blending. Yeah, I like this one.

Fail
Yeah, uh, this just didn't work. Again, 10 minutes really didn't come close to making this one even remotely successful. I should have just concentrated on a section of the figure.

Better
This one started to feel good and reminded me that 10 minutes just ain't enough to get the results I want.

45 minute sitting
I decided to move my easel and it paid off. I had a blast working on this one, especially the left forearm. I really got lost in pushing the conté around and creating the soft texture. Just fun.

15 minute sitting #3
Yeah, I didn't get a lot of variation in the angle from my vantage point. So I spent a lot of time rendering Samm's back.
