I have been in a life drawing class and a portrait drawing class since September and just now feel that I have a couple drawings worth posting for a critique - Yikes!!

"Walter" is my favorite model because he has great bone structure and is lean. It is easy to see form. Unfortunately the lighting is poor, no spotlights at all. The longest poses are 25 minutes, the last of the night, and only once did I spend the whole time on his head, usually trying to complete an overall figure study (edited for this forum).

I apologize for the quality of pictures. I just purchased a digital camera and am still learning how to use it. Maybe I will post in digital section and get some help with this aspect of documenting my drawings.
