First attempt. It took about 40 min! Yes, 40! Good news is I have a fully functioning hand, arm, shoulder. It is my comprehension of the concept of gesture that took so long. I did 4 previous attempts of the same pose which took even longer! So, I switched to Procreate, and it saved time with erasures. I am very excited because this is an adventure......no detail, border lines, etc. I am WAY out of my comfort zone and it is very exhilarating for me! In case my original photo does not upload, it is the pose of a large woman in Michael provided in the downloads section. I drew over the photo as a crutch to help me make the effort.

II am geriatric & wanted to draw a Geriatric model.

I used newsprint and pencil. Thanks for teaching this way of giving structure to the human form. It was new to me; I struggled and now feel much more confident. I have a system! thanks, Michael.

Pencil on smooth newsprint. Took more than 10 hours to understand these simple patterns of design & complete 3 sketches correctly! I feel very good about completing this project & more confident about shape & structural support. Thanks, Michael.
