My favorite drawing of the night

Great pose. I'm glad that I actually captured this one as well (sorry for the immodesty) as I did.

Bits

I just enjoy drawing this model so much. She's very professional and takes some of the most interesting poses without getting into such a pose that it's impossible to draw. Sometimes just the turn of an ankle or the subtle angle of a hand can make all of the difference. The top drawing could have gone better but I needed more time to find the proper way of handling that pose. The bottom drawing is pretty self explanatory, the right knee just screamed "DRAW ME!".

Some more from the other night

The lower pose was rather awkward and didn't hold my interest but the top one seemed like it might turn into something nice. Had I used my time more wisely I could have developed the shadows with more confidence. But, as you can tell from the previous posts this week, I was focused on the head more than the figure. Alas, choices...

It's the hair

Sara chose to have her hair down this week and it really made a difference in the poses. Her tresses became another integral part of the figure and gave us all a new(ish) element to work with. I know I had fun with it.

A couple of small drawings

Each of these was only six or less inches in height. I kind of got into a little detail mode with the head study that carried over into some more of the drawings the rest of the evening. I was pretty happy with the night, for the most part.

Graceful pose

I really felt I got off on the right foot with this drawing. The pose was an extension of the last gesture and I kind of kept the gestural feel when I launched into it. The tilt of the shoulders and the thrust of the hip created that very small area of her torso on her right side. It was intriguing and I think that interest just made me more in tune with the drawing.

The return of Sara

Some gestures from our latest session.
