This is the 2,2,2 drawing.
We always start off with quick sketches to loosen up and get to know the model's dimensions and form so these drawings each took 2 minutes. The tutor always lights the model beautifully to achieve shadows and reflections but the 2 minute slot doesn't leave much time to put in the darks.
After these very short poses, which are usually more dynamic than the model can hold for a longer time, the poses get longer until we have two 30 minute (or one hour-long ) usually sitting or reclining pose.
This is a 30 minute pose on brown wrapping paper, which I enjoyed drawing on. I used the more shiny side. Pastels come in astounding colours and I can't resist adding more and more colour. I could probably spend 30 minutes on a foot.
