The long pose

 I was getting experimental with the manner in which I drew this, whereas I think there is some good stuff here, ultimately I'm not very satisfied with the result.

Sleepy Bye

 The restful pose.  I wasn't very successful with this one.

Gestures of Samm

 Samm really gave us some wonderful gesture poses.  So much fun to work with the dynamics she displayed.

 

 

Like a racoon

 My favorite of the evening.  Last pose before the break and I had about 9 minutes.  I loved the shadows around her eyes and bridge of her nose.  I opted to work the areas of interest rather than get all of the pieces knocked in, leaving a much more incomplete drawing than I already have.  At least this one looks artistic in its choices.

The long pose

 I had an entirely different plan for this pose but it wasn't working out so I started building out, and I'm glad I did.

Headed to Roots

 Earlier this year we had the good fortune to have a small screech owl family spend some time in our trees.  They were fairly tolerant of my constant picture taking.  Charcoal and white pastel 4.5 x 6.5.

Darn that clock!

 I was really, really enjoying this drawing (really, I was) when time ran out.  The movement would have been awesome to capture but all I had the time for was to indulge in those beautiful shadows.  I would have had an absolute ball rendering the rib cage and belly.  Alas...
