After a tea break and a few more quick sketches, I felt that my brain was beginning to get back into gear. This final drawing of the evening is more fluid and the marks less tentative. The 2 hours had flown by and I had thoroughly enjoyed the session. I had forgotten how much focus is required for life drawing. As you look at the model and consider how and where to put down the marks, lines & textures, there is no place for any other thought. The process is entirely absorbing, almost meditative. I was completely hooked and looking forward to the following week.
