Gestures	1 hr pose	1 hr 30 min pose

Stephanie was the model. Same model as for the previous entry.

Been trying a couple of different things with the gesture drawings. One is a mix of outline and shading. That's my favorite gesture this week. The one in the top left. The one in the bottom right was also in that vein, but didn't have much time to do shading after getting the outline right. The others I tried to shade without any outline sketch. There's some mixed results there. I started from the edge on all of them. I think I should have started from the center on some of them.

The one hour pose is my favorite of the two longer poses from this week. Wish I had a little more time to get a rough head done. The stomach isn't quite right. I'm missing some of the roundness to give it volume. I need to be more careful of wear I'm putting my hand, esp with charcoal.

The 1hr 30 min pose came out alright. When I was doing my initial outline, I pressed a bit too hard with the charcoal and you can still see some of my lines in the lighter areas. Spent 20 min on the outline, 20 min on head, and 20 min on the rest. I might get a chance to work on this pose again in two weeks. Feels like the proportions on the right side of the drawing are too wide. Her head looks a bit wide, left arm a bit wide, and showing a little too much of the back. Otherwise I just feel I was a little too sloppy with the shading in this one. I should have taken the time to be more precise.
