Life Drawing (3-8-15) & I think spring is here!

Happy daylight savings time! I'm excited that longer days are abound! 

Drawing this morning felt challenging- I woke up late and missed out on the gesture drawing warm-up, and generally I hate gesture drawing but today I noticed how much it helps get started. I felt like I was fighting to stay with it- all of the drawings felt like an uphill battle. I was having a hard time creating something that looked as accurate as I wanted; however once I let go of my desire for realism things began to flow much better. I think I need to embrace my distortion more and accept that distortion is part of what makes my drawing style what it is. I do think I had some nice marks today.
