Portia.1 Hour and a Half at QAA

Quick sketch. Great model. I used charcoal paper, and I was unable to maneuver the Conte as well as on the drawing paper I used with Ilya. She is distorted, but I had no room to step back, and I did not measure at all.

Before the above, I did 4 quick sketches based on exercises in a book I received from Mama Claus: Expressive Figure Drawing.  I decided I should do as many quick studies as I can, since next week I will be studying 3 days a week at the Academy of Realist Art.

3-4 minutes each with a Conte Crayon:

geometric shapes with the long side of crayon, masses with a broken crayon, dots, contours (sort of)
