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.

First 10 minute of the session...


 ...and it turned out to be my favorite drawing of the night.  Sometimes it pays to quit when one's ahead.

Languid


 Not a lot here but the long lines really speak to me.  I would have considered trying to finish this one but I wrinkled the paper and rendered that a moot point.

Lovin' the vine charcoal here


 Smudgy goodness abounds with this sketch.  I really didn't give the drapery its due attention.  An issue with time, unfortunately.  I am, however, pretty happy with the figure itself.

The long pose


 I was getting experimental with the manner in which I drew this, whereas I think there is some good stuff here, ultimately I'm not very satisfied with the result.

Sleepy Bye


 The restful pose.  I wasn't very successful with this one.
