Had a hard time concentrating and my arms were hurting when I tried to draw. I’m blaming it on the rain . . . a convenient fall-guy (pun intended). When my drawings don’t turn out as well as I would like I usually blame it on the model.
You can see some of the structure lines & corrections in these 2 minute sketches.
The model held onto a rope in the poses. We were suppose to concentrate on the angles.
These below were 20 minute poses but I could only draw for about 10 minutes.
Usually, I use large drawing paper and stand at an easel. This session I drew on a smaller sketch pad and sat down. I figured if the model could sit
so could I . . .

“Excuses, excuses . . . “
I especially like the first and fourth sketches. Really see the movement and tension in both.

Judy, I like the energy depicted in your sketches – it’s different from a finished drawing but there’s lots of movement and excitement here.

Shari,
Thanks for the continued encouragement. The model literally tied the rope to an anchor and posed off-balance, pulling on the rope. He’s a professional drawing model and can hold a difficult pose.

Which gives you a chance to focus on taut and stretched muscles – they look very different from the same muscles relaxed, don’t they? Now you’re Judy da Vinci. (At least your model is alive and well.)
