First gestures of November

 Yep, gestures of Samm.  Not sure I can say much more than that.

Just when I loosened up...

... I tighten up on the face.  Sheesh, I can't get outta my own way.

Another 15 (or so) minutes

 This is the one I really wanted more time with.  I loved the pose and where I was headed.  Maybe it's because this sketch reminds me a J S Sargent prelim drawing for one of his beautiful murals.  The pose, not necessarily the sketch.

15 minutes and I'm feelin' good

 I started to really find my rhythm with this.  The image may not bear this out, but I was enjoying the process.

Ten minutes

 Double the time and I get a bit closer.  I'm happy with achieving a sense of mass and curvature of the seated pose.  Gettin' looser...

Five minutes

 Just gettin' warmed up.  I'm slowing down and five minutes accomplishes very little.

Gestures of Samm

 You ain't seein' things.  You ain't crazy.  These are, indeed, last night's gesture sketches.  Betcha saw this comin'.
