The last drawing of the night

 I took her face out at least two times before I settled on this partial rendering.  I also reworked the hand a number of times and refined the forearm.  Things just weren't falling into place very easily on this one.  Glad I didn't give up.  Not my best sketch but I learned a few things and exercised patience.  That's not a particularly normal virtue of mine.

A longer head study

 I really got hung up around her mouth.  It looks like her, so I'm happy.  I only wish I had been able to get her left eye in (correctly).  As you can see, I tried drawing it a couple times.  Just wasn't working.

A gentle view from the back

 Kinda like how soft and minimal this is.  I'd like to say it was planned that way, but time and focus conspired against me, and I ended up with something that is probably better.

A quick head study

 I think this was my best effort of the evening.  Nothing like setting the bar for the night and not reaching it again.  Oh well, that's just how it goes.

Gestures of Lady S

 Our very own Lady S is now modeling for the school as well as us.  Let's hope she doesn't get burned out...

Not my favorite of the night

 I was having fun, taking my time with this.  The problem?  There was too much time (I know, go figure) and I ended up finishing the face when I should have left the right eye, ear and the whole right side of his head unfinished.  Coulda done a second sketch or something.  This ain't bad, it's just not as cool as I wanted.

Two fer the price o' one...

 ... what a deal!  I probably enjoyed this page the most of all the sketches for the evening.  A plus is that it is on newsprint, not the bright white bond paper I use most of the time.
