I really enjoyed our figure drawing session this morning. We started out again with some short 3 minute gestures. These are fun - great for getting warmed up. Here's the best of that bunch. Notice the line-of-action in the first pose and the controposto. These must be established at the outset for a successful drawing.

Cheers,
Ed
