Another long pose drawing session last night. Thankfully yesterday wasn't as hot as last Monday so the studio wasn't too bad heat wise. Though I did get a bit warm toward the end of the session, all those lights, the ones on the model and the ones we use to light our drawing/painting surface make the studio heat up despite the AC. Our model last night was a pretty young blond woman. She was wearing a robe which of course ended up slightly different each time she took the pose. I had a very hard time with her hands, not totally sure why. I know why I had troubles with the left hand, she kept moving it and changing its position. I realized at the first break that she is a smoker and I have a feeling she was wanting a cigarette very badly during the first long session. She was driving me crazy, every time I would go to draw that hand she was moving it, ACK. The right hand I have no excuses about, for some reason I found the position tricky to draw. Except for her left hand she held pose very well, esp with her head. Sometime during our second pose session I switch over to my colored pencils, final drawing below.
Looking at the drawing now I realize her head position is a bit too forward, and I had issues with breast placement, in fact I was reworking some bits this morning, I probably should have left it alone, but it was looking very odd so... There are parts of this I like, her face, her hair, but... ah well each session is a learning experience, which is how I have to think of it.
That is it for this post. I have been busy working on more pencil holders, one day I should have enough to haul my Derwent pencils around with me, which is my goal. Otherwise I have started sketching another Sketchbook page, but need to get it finished before I post it here and elsewhere.
Per usual comments welcome.
