Longer Poses




With these, I had two hours with each model. The extra hour, I think, made a good deal of difference in the result. To produce a good drawing and a likeness in a limited amount of time, from life - what a challenge. There is so much to consider. I guess to do it well takes an enormous amount of practice. I'm in awe of those who can knock these out with seeming ease.

David,

These are exquisite.

If it makes you feel any better, It would take me four hours to get this far.

Just beautiful!

Your drawings are a real inspiration to me. Thank you for showing what can be done in such a short amount of time. This would take me a week to do.
