And the favorite of the evening is...
...this little fifteen minute sketch. I was drawn in with the beautiful strong shadow cast down her side and the way it just gave up when it hit her waist. Not giving her oblique even a token line kind of tilts the figure, but I'm okay with that. Moving up to where her neck meets under her jaw and the little suggestion of her mouth and nose and even eyelashes, just made me so very happy. Even with the clock expiring, which usually makes me quite angry, I think it was a blessing to be forced to stop. Just a great drawing experience.

Long pose
I really like this sketch and loved the pose, but it wasn't my favorite of the evening. Tune in tomorrow for that one...

Partial head study
I get lost in the shadows that Dylan's cheeks cast. They just beg to be interpreted and represented by sloppy and seemingly random slashes of charcoal. It's almost sculptural when I get going on that kind of shadow.

10 minutes
So many interesting lines and shapes that it just is an injustice to only have ten minutes to get anything done.

Samm gets comfortable
I'm pretty happy with this one, the wonderful cast shadows and the elegant tilt to the pose. This is a nice one (in my extremely humble opinion).

Shadows and shapes
This was a fun little experiment in abstract realism. Only about 10 minutes with this one so I chose to just focus on an area.
