January 8th and 21st Meetup

The model from these two meetups was the same. The above is from the first on the 8th. The 1 hr 30 min pose is the first drawing from these meetups that feels halfway finished. I sacrificed some to the proportions to get a more complete shading. I really like the way the hair turned out on the 1 hr pose too. I think I need to work on using more contrasty, dramatic shading even though the lighting doesn't reflect that in the studio, try to translate what I see into what it would look like with natural lighting.

Managed a cool little 5 min gesture. The model had been fasting on the 8th and it was interesting to see that the model on the 21st was noticeably less skinny. I like how the standing pose turned out, but really struggled getting the perspective on the portrait right. It's still not correct even after futzing with it for so long. Oh well.
