Well its the morning after the night before and time to reflect on the work I created last night at the life drawing session. The first thing to say in future I must remember to take an eraser. The first drawing shows the wandering of the models nipple across the page as I try and place it correctly in relation to the rest of the drawing. You can also see the way that the collar bone slowly moved up the page, like some inverse tide line, as I realised my errors and tried to correct them. In the past I would simply erase these marks, but of course without an eraser I couldn't do that. I couldn't shade them out either because the skin tone just wouldn't allow that. So they are left and I am quite happy about that actually. 
By the time I had finished the first drawing I just felt like creating some looser work hence the second drawing. It was also fun watching model fall asleep and still hold her position, mostly. Overall a great way to spend a wet Monday evening even if the plain song music kept making me think of a medieval setting rather than somewhere in the second decade of the 21st century above a florists in Oadby. But again that is my problem. Next week I might attempt a quick portrait painting - now that will be fun! Sent from my iPad
