Conté redux


 At last, a sketch I'm pretty much okay with.  I'm happy with the lost edges and the edges that merge into shadow.  The play of the figure against the fabric was a lot of fun to do.

Back in black


 Finally, a drawing I am happy(ish) with.  Coulda used a few more minutes...

Back in red


 Shoulda started this a bit further to the right side of the paper.  Poor planning.

Imcomplete studies



 A couple of conté studies.  The top one was on newsprint and the other on bond paper.

Gestures on newsprint



It's been a minute since I used newsprint.  This stuff had a tooth to it and I used to use end rolls from the Gazette which were considerably slicker. This was kinda fun...

Best of the evening


 This ended up being about 22 minutes and I used all of the allotted time as best I could.  So, only one decent sketch from the night.  Not my best evening.  Need to do better.

Disappointment

That seems to be what our model was thinking and I agree... this long drawing ended up being a big disappointment for me.  I like how his head turned out but I just couldn't get a hold on the rest of it.  I seem to have issues whenever that staff is involved.  I may have to keep a straightedge with me so I can just place the object correctly and work from there.
