These are two 15-minute studies below, and two 20-minute ones above, which finished the evening.

1st entry for May 7, 2010

On Friday, S- was back again working, but this time with her hair up. These were two 1-minute poses, a 5-minute and a 10-minute pose that she took.

6th entry for May 4, 2009

These were two 10-minute poses and a 15-minute one that ended the evening.

5th entry for May 4, 2010

These were 5-minute studies. As a by-product of his work as an actor doing physical theatre and such, K- had a particuarly well-defined musculature, and that remaibs something I don't come across that often.
I was talking to one of the other drawers, and we were both torn a bit between drawing the whole scene, and focussing in on getting details of K- . Moreover, his stilts themselves were interesting semi-prosthetic oblects. Mostly I only suggested them, so for one pose I decided just to try to draw the stilts themselves.
Several of us concurred later that the combination of elements made this evening one of the most challencing in reconciling the time available to the drawing produced.

4th entry for May 4, 2010

These were 3-minute poses.

3rd entry for May 4, 2010

These were 2-minute poses. As K- was explaining, part of the process of being on stilts is staying in motion - like a bicycle, once a direction is established, one moves with that.
Keeping still is the toughest: it would be like balancing upright on an unmoving bicycle. The altered centre of gravity adds to the challenge of finding balance on two pads smaller than a foot, and where added height magnifies any imbalances. So these poses entail him finding some third point of support.
