Favorite sketch of the evening

 This was only ten minutes long but it worked out nicely.

Vignette

 A nice study, if I do say so.  It was nice to do a very focused little drawing and not stray... much.

Languid

 Fifteen minutes was just not long enough.  This was rounding into a halfway decent drawing.  But I have no idea if it would have worked out, though.

Knees and elbow

 Started as a study of knees and really didn't go much further.  Ultimately, this is just a practice sketch.

Gestures of Lady P

 It's been awhile since we were graced with the presence of Lady P.  Nice set of gesture poses to get the artistic blood flowing.

As usual, the long pose

 As I wandered around the studio it looked like everyone was getting a pretty good drawing from this pose.  My only wish is that I could have changed the lighting to really throw the right side of his head into shadow.  I would have if it weren't for the fact that we had 16 artists in the room and that would have messed up 15 others just for my wishes.

Swipes and picks

 Started this as just a bunch of big swipes of charcoal and then I use the kneaded eraser to pick out some of the highlights.  Mildly successful.

Startin' to warm up

 Didn't hate this one.  Was playing with lines and broad strokes.

A couple of different poses on the same page

 I wasn't quite into the evening yet, so I just did a couple sketches on the same bottom half of the page.  Just throwaway stuff.

Gestures of Mr. O

 16 artists packed out room last night.  9 students, 6 regulars and a new attendee.  A bit tight, to be sure.
