On Tuesdays our drawing group has one 2-hour pose, as opposed to the 30 minute poses they have on Sundays. This gave me the chance to work on a larger scale and also refine my drawing a bit. I'm really happy with how quickly it came together. I think the fact I was standing this time helped immensely- It allowed me to have a better angle my drawing and be more engaged- It's like it keeps me on my toes (both literally and figuratively (figuratively? figure drawing? eh? eh?))

I feel like some of the detail and finer line-quality is lost in this photo, but I it's also nice seeing the same work smaller and condensed- I can now see some issues with proportion and the shadows (I really didn't focus too much on the shadows.... and it shows...). The hand is a bit wonky too.

I think next Tuesday I'm going to switch to charcoal. All in all a great session.
