The Anya pose

 Kreg asked Samm if she could replicate a pose that Shane Wolf drew.  The model was Anya, the tiny model we drew at The Figure Society Symposium in St. Louis last March.  I ended up with the profile view of said pose but I appreciate Samm being game.

Yeah, there is a figure in there

 A somewhat experimental back study.  Building up the figure with layers of shadow.  It was fun even if the end result (at this stage) looks a bit confusing.

Quick studies...

 ...otherwise known as gestures.  Hey, a rose by any other name and all that jazz.

Finally!

 One, and only one, that I can be pretty okay with.  Not great but at least there aren't too many mistakes.

The long pose

 This one just wouldn't play fair with me.  I needed a lot more time and patience to really understand this pose and get it right.  Guess what... I got neither.  Wotta waste.

Two for one

The top pose should have been a wonderful image but I just couldn't pull this one out.  The bottom pose was another slow build up that stalled.  All in all, my evening was not, to me, satisfactory.
 

Incomplete

 This little ten minute sketch was a slow build up.  Not sure why I could only get this far but it was definitely a precursor to the rest of the evening and the drawings I produced.  This may have been the best I did.  Hmmm.
