Dylan in 45 minutes... almost

 I intend to do some adjusting to this in the studio.  Some areas are more defined than they need to be and others not enough.  The framework is all there (except for the face) and I hope to be able to bring a bit more life to this from memory.  So much to like about this that it is a shame to let it go...

About 12 minutes for this one

Similar to yesterday's post but more fleshed out.  Still focusing on the shadows but bringing out more of the figure.

10 minute study #2

 I found the action line with this pose but chose to keep it relatively focused on the shadows.  I'm pretty happy with this one.

10 minute study #1

 Kind of a tentative approach to the first sketch.  As the session progressed I became a bit more assured.

Introducing Dylan

 

It's always exciting and intimidating to work with a new model.  I tend to need a couple of sessions to separate the model as a person and begin seeing them as a series of shapes, shadows and lines.  Creating mass and motion.  I think Dylan will be a wonderful model to work with.

My fave of the sesh

 Why is it my fave?  'cause I was having an absolute blast constructing her leg and starting to build up the incredible shadows she was casting.  Didn't finish, but that doesn't make it any less fun.

 Ouch, this one had so much potential and I just didn't handle it right.  Maybe a different medium would have been a better choice.  Probably should have gone with charcoal or maybe black conté.
