1st entry for January 6, 2009

It was a real `comedy of errors' evening for me when I went out to Artists 25. Simple things kept going awry, and despite my best efforts, missed the gesture poses again.
These are 2 10-minute studies.

W- was working, and I find her face interesting and challenging to draw. A lot of the evening was spent wrestling with her likeness. The challenge was deepened by her hair, which has fairly wild, random set of curls and locks.

3rd Entry for November 23rd, 2008

These were 10-minute poses. L- 's curly semi-Mohawk haircut was challenging to set down at all quickly. The night was one where my drawing was working out fairly well. Some nights, it just flows. Others, it is a like a street-by-street battle to put the marks in the places where I want them. With L- , one could work out skeletal structure fairly well, and I was able to get quite a lot of anatomical information suggested in her back. Mostly, I let the shadows tell the story in that regard.
