90 Second Warm-up Poses (click to enlarge)
45 Minute Long Pose (click to enlarge)
30 Minute Long Pose (click to enlarge)These are a few life-drawings I did in a class at the Elmhurst Art Museum which I took for practice. I'm not used to working this fast,... I have been spoiled by the American Academy of Art's 2 hour per day, four days a week life-drawing long pose (which I took advantage of the extra time). The charcoal was going pretty slow for me for this class, so I decided to use wet media to cover as much of the paper as possible in the short amounts of time per pose. It is definitely a lot looser than my regular style, but I feel it is kind of freeing, and helps to train the eye by moving fast and blocking in the shapes and shadows. I am hoping that this practice will help me get faster when I work on my tighter gouache paintings. For those of you who really know my work, I'd love to hear your thoughts on these pieces.

Hey, is that model good looking? I cant tell but the body seems as though she might be. I think I might start doing that drawing at the Academy. I dont know if they still have that going on. I think you said they do.
