Pam- I've pulled another paper out and here it goes. This time the paper is green. Thanks for the inspiration to try again.

BJ.... you are so fast at those. Another nice bright one!

And Mark.... I like this one too..... nice palette.

BJ, another great one! I like the bits of orange surrounding the figure..bringing in the light around him. You've got yourself a series started with these pastels! Really nice and vibrant!

Mark, love this pose so much-you have it down so well

and I am afraid to give it a try just yet! I'll keep looking at yours! B&W is very effective!

Bee, try simplifying the image by converting everything into geometric shapes, I find this helps me with all kinds of dificult poses...I have done this pose as I see it simplified.

Mark, thank you...I have not learned yet to do this automatically so the reminder was a good thing for me!! Keep me in line. I have just read about that in Hale's Drawing Lessons.

Pauline- Thank you. I was on vacation for a better part of the week so I had more time. Now, I'm back at work, in retail, paying the bills with a lesser amount of time to paint

;

Pam- Thank you and for the series idea.

Mark- Wonderful perspective, And thanks for that geometric design lesson. I have a hard time breaking a painting down that way but your visual allows me to see the perspective in a brand new way

I found that fascinating - this seems to follow the body: the way I would see it would (I think) be maybe more value based?

Anyway, here's the sketch:

It is amazing how different people see the same pose...I have found this out while I was teaching....some pupils could not get to grips with the measuring side of drawing the figure and found it easier to use the shape method, I will have to try your method for other students.
It is the first time I have seen a demo of how people see the tonal areas...thanks for posting your perspective on the pose.

By the way love the mark making in your sketch fippetygibbet, I am a big fan of an expressive line.

Just trying to keep this thread above water...and not let it slip out of view.
