Norfolk Sketch Session IX





Normally i'm quicker with posting the drawings i did at Tues. Nights drawing session but i've been slacking. I will summarize the whole evening as quickly as possible. I showed up early to find what some might call a good spot. Depending on the night there can be numerous people there squeezing into as many places as possible. The good part being that it gives us the family atmosphere. The model forgot that he was modeling tonight so he was late. Somehow i'm not sure but i was talking into modeling for the gang after simply suggesting that well all take turns doing gesture poses. When the model finally arrived, he started off with a hard 20 min pose of having his arms raised out from his side. For anyone that has never modeled before it is hard to do. He was very eager to do aggressive daring things but it simply wasn't him. I guess that was a good experience because it taught me never take a pose for granted. Don't expect an arm or a shade to be where it was 10 sec ago even in a modeling session. It was a so-so turn out overall but i thin my drawing are okay. Some areas need some serious tweaking but i can always do that later.
