The fifteen minute face...


 ...without eyes.  (Apologies to Billy Idol for twisting his lyric)

Gestures of Dylan



 Our last session with Dylan for a while yielded some wonderful poses.  Gestures, anyone?

45


 I was really enjoying this one.  Of course, foreshortening is a favorite of mine.  I love the way the pose draws the eye across the legs and then into the torso in a reverse Z pattern.  I think leaving her head out of the drawing gives the sketch more legitimacy than having the eye stop with her face.  Or I could be wrong.

Fifteen


 So many shadows to work with that I didn't progress as far as I had hoped.  I like the texture that I applied, though.

The other ten minute pose


 Again, I was fascinated with shapes and wasn't concerned about creating a full figure.

First ten minute pose of the session


 I was really getting into the various shapes and didn't care that I didn't get even a wee bit close to a finished sketch.  Lots of smudging and sculpting with vine charcoal.
