I made it in for part of the morning session at the TSA, where A- was working. The lower two studies were 10 minutes, and I was still waking up. The other three were 15 minutes each, and the shading worked well on them. They have an early -mid 20th century feeling, both in pose and shading, for me.
I was back in drawing on Friday. D- was working that night. These are a 5-minute full-figure study below and three 10-minute studies above where I fussed over facial features with varying degrees of success. I had taught a class focusing on hands the week before, and the hands were well -described in these studies.
These two 10-minute poses finished that evening. The lower one was the final pose, and I was starting to get tired at that point. Looking back, while there were a fair number of studies from that evening I was unsatisfied with, the ones that worked by and large worked better than usual.
I'm a Toronto- based artist. My focus is on the human form, primarily through drawing. I'm mostly posting work on Tumblr now(link below.) This blog remains a process-intensive diary of over 10,000 studies spanning more than 7 years.
(More finished work of mine can be found as well on my Flickr account - there's a link for that below as well)
