2nd entry for October 15, 2009

These were 15-minute poses. Some might not be happy having consecutive back views, but I like drawing people's backs. It is a small point in the grand scheme of who he is, but Y- I noticed had one of the leanest lower backs I've come across. Sitting like this, the margins of his Quardatus Lumborum muscles, all the vertebral bumps down through the sacrum and the back edge of his iliac spines all show in relief at the small of his back. Usually one just sees a couple of dimples & a lot of padding there.

It is always fascinating to me how a body's structure expresses itself differently in people.

4th Entry for November 30th

These were 15-minute poses. It has been a couple of months since I have drawn Z- and I was struck by how her confidence, presence & stamina as a model have grown.
