KIA Summer Drawings 2014: Week 5

Drawings from the fifth of an eight-week open model session at the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts in Michigan. This model, while challenging to depict due to her long limbs and small hands, was really lovely to draw. 

The first is an approximately two-minute gesture with charcoal pencil, on 12" x 18" newsprint. I feel like I captured the stance pretty nicely, of her leaning forward.

The rest are charcoal pencil against a ground of willow charcoal on 14" x 17" Strathmore paper, 20 to 40 minute poses.
