Figure Drawing for December 17, 2009

15 Minute Pose

Something mildly amusing to me...

It sometimes seems that I get the same amount of work done no matter how long the session goes--and now I have PROOF!.  In this series--all from the same model session--each pose seems to have gotten the same amount of work done on the page, despite the length of the pose time.  Heck, the shortest pose (on top) seems to have gotten the most done on the page.  Now, granted, I was trying to work hard on getting the face right on each of them so I had to shift focus a bit on the first pose, and the face was at an odd angle for the bottom one, so I had to go back and correct my drawing quite a few times as it progressed.

But, as I reviewed the work for the evening, it made me think of Xeno's Paradox: No matter how much I completed, there was still halfway to go.  Sigh...


This was done with charcoal, carbon pencil, carbon stick, and white chalk on 12" x 18" gray bogus paper.
