Still being influenced

I keep falling back on the Steve Huston influence every so often.  The long lines and the thick and thin application of a charcoal outline.  Large shapes versus little details. 

A study of Sarah

Just trying to get my bearings with the session.  This wouldn't be a problem if I did this more than once a week.

Gestures of Sarah

A more normal sized group braved the Spring snow and we had the return of a long time model, Sarah, to help us out last night.  It was a fun session and here are the gestures.

Graphic head study

Probably the most solid sketch of the evening.  I really enjoy the angle of this pose and the simple linework employed.

Just working it out

Unfortunately the model moved multiple times and what caught my attention was so far out of position that I had to move on.  As I started on other aspects of the figure the pose would change enough to just throw everything out of whack.  So this is basically a compilation of at least 4 and maybe as many as 6 pretty distinct poses.

Why so serious?

I was really enjoying this one and didn't mind some of the exaggerations I drew into it.  Some of that happened because the model's head kept shifting.  Alas, I still like this.

Tilt

A classic pose that I probably would have done better had it been presented later in the session.  Still, I'm kind of fond of it.
