3rd entry for April 7, 2009







These were all in the 20-minute range. The drawing was going well that night, which it usually does with J- working. The standing pose was strong, I felt, but the standout was the reclining figure. It's still far from perfect, but it is dramatic & pictorially interesting.
The head on the study sitting on the stool is weakly drawn,and a poor likeness, but the rest of it was acceptable enough to post, I feel.

2nd entry for April 7, 2009





It wasn't the best night for likenesses, but I was playing with proportions in ways I don't usually do. Having drawn J- numerous times, i feel less of an urhency to record him exactly `as is'. These are one 5-minute and two 10-minute poses.

No drawing took place Sunday, owing to an Easter dinner. But Tuesday I reached Artists 25 on time, and had a good long stretch to draw J- , who was working that night. These were some 2-minute poses he did.

2nd entry for April 3, 2009





These were 15-minute poses. Distance, coupled with fatigue led to this not being one of my strongest drawing nights.
