False Start

Wasn't happy with the first try and switched from terra cotta to black conte.  Very basic to get the evening started but I like the planes and forms.

Gestures of Riley

The Black Hand Group welcomed a new model to our little gathering.  He did an excellent job and we look forward to working with him again.  Here are the gestures from last night.

Ashley Profile

Rather a stylized rendering of Ashley will end our two week run with our newest model.  I really look forward to having her sit more for us and getting some better drawings done.

Torso

A little white chalk really sparks up some drawings.

Her Left Foot...

and the leg attached to said foot.  I've always been partial to studies like these.  They are very focused and, at least to me, interesting.  I had fun drawing this one.

More time...

just some more time to do this sketch justice.  I'm starting to get in the groove with our newest model, Ashley.  I need to get back to the sensitive linework of some of my earlier stuff.  She's perfect for that style.

Another session with Ashley

Starting to get a bit closer to being comfortable rendering our newest model, Ashley.
