Forty five head study

 I got pretty caught up in noodling the face and hand (a bit too much attention to the hand).  Still, there's some stuff I'm pretty happy with.  Not my best effort, though.

Twenty minutes and all I got was...

 ... a little shadow and an unfinished hand.  I am happy with how the arm rests on her left hand.  A bit more work on the drapery might pull this together.

Fifteen minute study in shadows and shapes

I was really enjoying this pose and I think I got what I needed to from my 15 minutes.  Probably my favorite sketch of the session.
 

Ten minutes with conté

 I wasn't on my A game this last session, taking a bit too long with each drawing and not really getting the results I wanted.  This feels a bit rough and it was a really great pose, so I guess it was just another lost opportunity.

Gestures of Samm

 Samm graciously stepped in for an ailing Patience this week.  As always, a great job from out stalwart model, and these are the gesture drawings to prove it.

Forty five minutes

 This was fun to draw.  The hands, the cloth and the languid pose made for some wonderful challenges.  

The third quarter hour sketch

 Ah, I was so reminded of Frank Frazetta's "Ghoul Queen" that I just couldn't separate myself from that image.
