LCC Sun Drawing 09/15/13 - Carli 01, Mixed Media on Toned Paper,18"x24"

I went out to the Figure Drawing class at LCC this past Sunday. It has been a while since I was there, and I did have a good morning.

These are the longer poses and I was a little mixed about how I felt about them. Above is my favorite of the morning. It was over a drawing of Sergio from another session.

I really am torn over this drawing. I do not like it. However everyone I talk to loves it, so maybe others see what I do not see here. It is incomplete so perhaps after some additional work it could be a strong drawing. I will have to put more time into it.

I really dislike reclining poses from the side. Generally, I think they are uninteresting, so after I completed this drawing I was a little unhappy with it. However, it's really growing on me. I do like how this drawing came out. I really like the way I rendered the face, even though it doesn't look that much like Carli.
