Well while he fishes I paint.
Both are fairly small. 1/4 sheet 140 arches rough. The pad just fits in my painting bag so I took it along.
Will finish these when I get home but off to moms memorial so these will languish on the studio table while I am gone.

Crystal is a super model. Been drawing her off and on for a while since going to the Atlanta Artist Center where she also models. Now She’s doing online modeling sessions via Townsend Atelier about once a month on Monday at 5 EST. You can contact them at mailto:peggy@townsendatelier.com. They have a phenomenal range of classes.
One advantage to doing a zoom session is that you can capture her pose with a screen shot.
Handy if you want to tweak your sketches. Doesn’t matter if there’s not enough detail because you really don’t want to get bogged down with the details.
The camera was down near her feet so there was a lot of odd foreshortening. She really doesn’t have big feet except from that angle. Lol.
