Loose lines

I was trying to keep things flowing but really I wanted to have more time to really explore this pose.  As usual...

A new (old) way of sharpening my charcoal

I found another artist's site with a little video on his materials and how he maintains them.  I implemented his sharpening technique and lo & behold I was happy with my pencils again.  So much better (although it encourages a much slower approach to the drawing) and I'm a lot more encouraged.  We'll see if it holds through the coming weeks and months.

Some gestures

Lady B always has fun with her gesture poses.  A fun night with a small group.

Takin' my time

Long pose so I spent some time on it.  Not sure if I spent the time well, but....

Squished

A study in form and shadows.  Lots of fun with this even if it came out a bit abstract.

Unfinished

I was really enjoying this pose only to have the time run out on me.  I've been looking at some Zin Lim art and have the urge to go in and finish some of my favorite unfinished sketches with a little less emphasis on just the figure and more on the overall image as a piece of art.

Getting back to it

The first sketch of Lady B, just trying to get a feel for her again.
