The long pose

 If I decide to finish her face this could be a pretty nice drawing.  Either way, I'm very pleased with the forms and sense of mass that this one conveys.  Yep, very happy.

20 minutes

 I got a little precious with this one.  I spent an inordinate amount of time on her left shoulder.  I had a fixation on that shadow and just couldn't let it be.

10 minute head study

 This one just didn't gel.  It happens... sometimes.

10 minutes and counting

 This one had a lot, a lot, of potential.  Derailed by a lack of time.  I was having an absolute ball making the marks on this and I'm fairly upset that I didn't get the time to "flesh" this one out.

Samm is back

 Gestures.  Yep, just gestures.  Samm gave us some wonderful poses to work with.

I have a plan for this one

 I intentionally didn't complete her right arm as it disappeared into shadow, and I intend to plunge it back into shadows again, along with finishing her face.  In the studio I'll be able to take my time and finish it the way I envision, with a soft black background that melds her arm into the darkness.

 I started this one with the right arm, investing a lot of time into the shadow and trying to make sure it looks in perspective.  I then tried to play catch-up with the rest of the figure and face.
