Whew! My favorite of the evening

I like these kind of poses where there an up planes and down planes, things stretched out and things bunched up, light playing with the subtle shadows - like a puzzle - fun to work with!
So the muse visited me last night, I hope I can entertain her for a while!

Whew - the second!

Like this one! Has a nice painterly feel to it.

Whew, I feel better

This was the first of the 3 long drawings, and I felt like I had a good start. Seems like I can feel a different energy happening when the gestures go right. Of course I went back to standing and working in my more typical larger scale format and I can see the design better. The next one I like better.

This is my old comfort zone - I needed to get back to that after wandering into other techniques - just to make me feel better!

Believe me, I did not abstract this that much, there was so much going on in this landscape-figure, I could not figure it out - so I just drew the shapes and rendered the color.

Still working . . .

3-27-12 Great model!

I'm trying to work in a smaller format - just trying to jiggle something (ANYTHING!) loose in my creative approach. And I dislike standing poses for the same reason I dislike laying down poses - static - standing poses are just vertical laying poses (heehee!) So I truncated my drawing to the area that interested me the most.
