Favorite of the night

Wish I had stayed in this frame of mind all evening.  Sure, the face is barely blocked in but I love the feel of this image.  Strong blocks of deep shadows and shapes give this some life, not just a mimic of life.

Fun but not typical

I was way off of my game last week and am not sure how I even got through the night.  This is okay but for a long pose it sure comes up short.

Limbs akimbo

Some deep shadows and some great angles.  Fun pose.

Still kinda gesture-y

But I like it and kinda wish I had kept this going for the session.  Alas, t'was not so.

A mess o' gestures

Wow, this is just a mess... even for gestures.  I blame Angry Hank's "Dirt" stout for this and the subsequent drawings that I'll be posting from this session.  Just a warning, folks.

Cast shadow

Large strokes

This was fun using the side of a very soft charcoal stick and getting some big sweeps of tone.
