4th entry for Aug 10, 4012









The top three 3-minute poses and the 1-minute ones below finished the evening. It was interesting to go to a session whose trajectory went from fast to slower and fast again to finish. All of these are also  done with hard Nobel charcoal on 18 x 24" sheets of Canson Recycled Sketch paper.

3rd entry for Aug 10, 2012








These are two 10-minute studies above and five-minute and 3-minute ones below. All are done with hard Nobel charcoal on 18 x 24" sheets of Canson Recycled Sketch paper.
There was a break after the second long pose, so I converted the bench D-  was lying off of into a stonework structure to go with the mood of the evening.
All the while, heavy-metal and rock songs were playing, in keeping with the barbarian theme - making it all a kind of a 'Gesamtnerdwerk '.

2nd entry for August 10, 2012



 



These are some more 2-minute and/or 3-minute studies. Sion's build, hair and outfit was striking me a little more Turok than Conan, so in some of these (like the lowest one, I was paying with bulking him up a bit visually. It was a windy rooftop, but the working was fun.
