Torso

Wish I had finished (to a degree) her left hand.

Haughty pose

Gestures of Miss D

Miss D gave us her last session for awhile.  Summer is taking its toll on our model stable.

A Fechin pose

I asked the model if she could replicate a pose I found in one of my Nicolai Fechin books.  She nailed it and I had a blast doing this one.

Weight

This sketch conveys a nice sense of mass and weight.  I didn't even try to rush this to finish, I was having too much fun working my way around the figure.

Her knee

Apparently I was in no hurry last week.

A quick ten

This didn't even remotely come together until the last 30 seconds or so.  I'm always amazed at how a few lines can bring a drawing around.  This is not, by any means, a finished drawing but it was looking like a trainwreck for most of the pose.
