Cindy, from your comments, I see that you came away with much not just a well done drawing. I have seen a many a art students, dare not retrace their steps, in order to fix and learn from their mistakes, for the fear of not having enough time to finish and get a likable end result. We miss so much by hurrying through the process to get a likeness. I still catch my self making these same mistakes. Like you say check and re-check each step and the result will come. Good for you!

I love those charcoals! I purchased mine in Italy some time ago, three boxes B, HB & H for 130 Eur. Thanks for the link, I need to get some soon.

Thanks so much, Mary Jane. Yes - this model was a delight. I haven't had much experience with life drawing, so I don't have a basis for comparison, other than the model who left after only 2 sessions. He was like popcorn - bouncing up out of his chair, and even proceeded to walk around critiquing the students' renderings, and even taking up charcoal or an eraser to help strugglers along! I was appalled at his behavior, but the teacher seemed fairly oblivious to it.

Ariel, on the other hand, is a pro - she sat still as a rock, and gave us 5 and 1 minute warnings before she moved.

She is so tiny - so slight, and her shoulders so narrow that when I put them in they didn't look right.
