Hello Julie! Yes, it was fun and a challenge. They had a single medium light almost directly above her and a few other lights around the room creating a mixed lighting message - and thus it became quite challenging.
Thanks for your comments!

Marlin from last night was really well defined and fun to draw! I had a bit of an eye opening about model distance from last week and this - i.e., I need to be closer! Going to post a bit about that in another topic.
This drawing went well. A pretty dead on likeness that showed after the first 20 minute session.

Dealing with irregular features...
Meera, our model last night had a turned nose - it turned slightly to the right side of her face. It really perplexed me until the first break when I looked at her head on and realized what the situation was. I had a position that seemed to really emphasize the turn - below and to her right. I am, however, fairly happy with this drawing and the challenge it presented to me!

Amanda - 7/15. New Canson Mi-Teintes paper on this piece. It is nice paper! Amanda was up on a platform and I was slightly below her. When I translated the length of the neck to the paper, it looked really long, and it does now too. I checked it and rechecked it. She had a long neck and the angle I think made it look even moreso.
I am pleased with this drawing none the less. The likeness is coming faster and faster for me these days.

7/21 - Yvette
Yvette is a great model and an extremely talented artist in her own right. Last night she treated us with a North African outfit replete with facial tattoos and an extended hair bun. Again, likeness is coming quicker for me these days and I had a bit of a chance on really focusing on making an attractive drawing out of the piece with areas finished and areas loose and sketchy. Much fun!

Marlin - 07/28/09
Marlin is a great model, full of character and an interesting person to boot! Got a special treat with this one as the pose included his hand - challenging to do in just 3 hours, but I am pretty pleased with this one.

We artists have such a hard life - having to sit there and look at and draw this young lady for three hours... :P
