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.

This one was coming along

 There are a few aspects I want to finish on this but I am pretty happy with where it "sits" right now.  Pleased with the likeness, as well.

45 minutes and not very satisfactory

 This was a really great pose and I am frustrated that I didn't nail it to my satisfaction.  C'est la vie.

Back to the back

 This was fun to draw.  So many shapes to play with and some great shadows.  Would love to do a few studies like this in a single session.
