The two 10 minute drawings

 Just kinda gettin' warmed up with these.

Gestures of Dylan

 Our last session with Dylan for a while yielded some wonderful poses.  Gestures, anyone?

45

 I was really enjoying this one.  Of course, foreshortening is a favorite of mine.  I love the way the pose draws the eye across the legs and then into the torso in a reverse Z pattern.  I think leaving her head out of the drawing gives the sketch more legitimacy than having the eye stop with her face.  Or I could be wrong.

Fifteen

 So many shadows to work with that I didn't progress as far as I had hoped.  I like the texture that I applied, though.

The other ten minute pose

 Again, I was fascinated with shapes and wasn't concerned about creating a full figure.

First ten minute pose of the session

 I was really getting into the various shapes and didn't care that I didn't get even a wee bit close to a finished sketch.  Lots of smudging and sculpting with vine charcoal.

Back to work... hopefully for a long time

 Dylan has come back for a couple of weeks.  These are the gestures that got us all motivated for the rest of the session.
