I've drawn this model several times - feels a bit like she has a 'muse' quality for me... but the reason I'm not really happy with this one is that if I have too much time, the drawing gets overworked and stiff - all the spontaneity that I love in quick sketches gets scribbled over and it begins to look cartoonish. Not my worst drawing, but not the best either.

Two and a half hours is too long for me to stick with the same drawing... my a.d.d. might be showing!

This was drawn weeks ago, but I'm just getting around to posting now... One of my favourite models but we haven't seen her for a while because she was recently married and her time has been spent doing newlywed stuff.

We seem to be kinda hard on models... Last night we had another fainting spell... Must be something in our atmosphere. Maybe we're too far north, or the elevation is too high. Good thing we have chairs!

Sketch on the left was about 5 mins. On the right, about 2.5 hrs
