10 one minute sketches of Samm

 The title says the bare minimum.  Samm just always gives us more than we expect.  These gestures may not show it, but her effort really gets us warmed up for her longer poses.  Super appreciate the effort and professionalism Samm gives us.

Feeling a bit, um, sketchy...

 Gestures, donchaknow.

Gestural beauty

The quick sketches of Dylan
 

Finally, back to life drawing. The gestures of Dylan

 Yep, little one minute studies.  Gotta get warmed up, donchaknow.

Sorry for the delay...

 Took a trip out of town so I didn't get these shot before last night.  Here are the gesture drawings.

 Samm has really become a fantastic figure model.  She commits totally to giving the artists exactly what they want and has pushed her gestures to another level.  We are lucky to have her.

Gestures with Patience

Scribble, scribble, scribble...
 

Gestures of Dylan

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

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.

Gestures of Samm

 Samm really gave us some wonderful gesture poses.  So much fun to work with the dynamics she displayed.

 

 

Gestures of Samm

 

As always, Samm just does an amazing job for The Black Hand Group.  

Gestures of Dylan

 Some very dynamic poses of Dylan.  One minute per pose, gotta get what I can in 60 seconds!

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.

Gestures of Samm

 The normal 10 sketches with Samm putting her all into it.  

Gestures of Lady D

 A small group of four artists got to have Dylan all to themselves.  The gestures were dynamic, as always.  Would love to have had the time to work on a few of them for a bit longer (or much longer).  But that's the same old line I use every Friday, ain't it.

My favorite from the evening

 

This one has it all, aside from a full figure.  The motion implied and the simplicity of the choices of what to render make this more art than just a sketch.  This is my favorite style of figure drawing.

The long pose

 We got about 52 minutes out of this one.  Dylan probably regrets this one as she was resting on her left hand.  Great job, for sure.

10 minutes

 We had two 10 minute poses.  This was the second.  Just a study in form and and mass.  

15 minutes

I was moving too slowly on this one and really didn't get far enough in the time allotted.  If anybody reads my comments you may think I just cut and paste the same statement, ad nauseam.  I don't, but I do repeat myself... a lot.
 

Gestures of Dylan

 Dylan came in after a delay at the train tracks and just knocked out great pose after great pose.  Fun night with a small group.

Samm is back

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