Where does the time go?

Just two from Thursday. First a whole hour for a line drawing in charcoal and charcoal pencil on A2.

Second drawing same materials 30 minutes.

Colourful

But I should have checked the drawing (or the model's expression). A3, watercolour and ink.

Long legged syndrome

I think I should have measured. These are 5 minutes on A1 charcoal pencil.

Long pose more considered in pencil.

Simples

Still trying to simplify. 30 minutes charcoal and charcoal pencil on A2.

Sixty minutes.

One odd thing about these images is that they were originally greyscale and yet the first now appears blue and the second appears brownish red.

Out of proportion

Still trying to simplify but had problems with proportions. First some 2 or 3 minute poses.

Then a 15 minute

Finally an hour.

Romeo and Juliet

Some drawings from a DVD of the ballet. I would like these to be gestures but to be honest they were more detailed pencil drawings that I simplified with pen. I'm hoping to work them into a painting but I'm not sure how to include enough detail and also to make sure the painting represents the movement involved.

Shapes and Volume

No sculpture this term so more life drawing. These are all 30 minutes in charcoal and charcoal pencil on A2 paper.
