At rest

 

Just about ready to get to the good stuff and the clock strikes midnight.  My drawing may as well have turned into a pumpkin!

A little tension

 A quick line study of Lady P.  Never enough time to capture what I want...

Gestures of a Muse

 Always fun to work with Lady P.

Now this was fun

 I really enjoyed working on this one.  It really plays to my interests, the delicate lines and the shaping of the masses with lines more than shading.  This was fun and I'd have loved to had a couple of hours with this pose.

A bit of Sepia doodling

 Working with these pencils has certainly slowed me down.  But in a good way, I think.   I'm not as interested getting a full figure done in the tiny time frame available.  I've been looking at a lot of artist's work on-line and I've been wondering if I'm not giving myself enough permission to really time my time and explore each piece.  Tiny steps...

Lyra pencil sketch

 I went to Art's and picked up some Lyra colored pencils to try and match the bistre and sepia conte sticks I've been so fond of.  I intended to pop some nice, tight lines into the heavy handed stick-work I have been doing.  Turns out I spent more time noodling than I did smudging. 

A couple of quick charcoal sketches
