A fuller partial torso study in conté


 This was my favorite drawing of the session.  Only fifteen minutes, but still my favorite.

Partial torso study in charcoal


 I became a bit fascinated with the cast shadow to the detriment of the complete torso.  A study is a study.

Head study


 A little study of Dylan's face.  Not real happy with this, but not unhappy either.  Just getting to know the newest model and I hope to do a few more head studies as the summer progresses.

Some gestures of Dylan


 Dylan returned for an encore with our little group and these are the quick one minute sketches to start the evening.

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.
