Here are some drawings of Louise.

I still have some more drawings lurking in a huge folder under the bed, so I promise to defy the dust bunnies, dig them out and photo them too.

Charcoal and Conte crayon on Fabriano paper. This one was a difficult pose - I finally managed to get the foreshortening of the legs right.

I think I can see progress here, and I loved the class situation and the critiques. One thing I did find out: I find it very difficult to draw "small" (ie: normal sketch pad size) and kept losing the feet! I seem to need those huge parent sized sheets of paper (A1 and A2) which then needs a huge drawing board and a sturdy easel. Not easy to accommodate in an average-size living room.

Never mind "back to the drawing board" I need to go back to the classroom!
