Success

 Well, I think it's successful in my eyes.

Long pose

 Using this paper was fun but it is a texture I need spend time with.  45 minutes just wasn't enough.

Finally, getting into the groove

 Perspective drawings are my favorite.  This was coming along well enough.  Needed more time, though.

Not much to see here

I still wasn't warmed up yet.  Fairly tentative little sketch.

Gestures after two weeks off

Gestures.  'nuff said.
 

My favorite

 Seems I like the perspective poses best.  Love the challenge and it adds a bit of action to the piece.  And those shadows, what's not to like about this pose?

45 minutes and this is all I could do? Sheesh

 I was working with an oil pencil and it hampered my progress.  Really did me no favors when it came to blending the shaded areas.  Still, even with the lack of progress to show, I'm happy enough with the drawing aspect of the, uh, drawing.
