Life Drawing Class - Week II - Contor Drawing and Proportions

We had our second life drawing class last night.  We are all enjoying the class and the chance to have a live model.  Our model can hold a pose wonderfully well which makes it a little easier for budding artists! 

We did three short 5 minute poses to warm up then a longer 20 minute pose to try and get a more complete figure drawing.  We concentrated on contours and proportions this week and some tonal shading.  I had such trouble with the hands, feet and face but overall I felt happy with the figure pose though mostly the proportions kept changing - it is all one model - she gained or lost weight instantly?! 

It is still a lot of fun and I can't wait to continue next week!
