I've only drawn Erin once before and that time I had a satisfying life drawing session too. There were about 15 of us in the group today and it's customary to wander around in the break and look at each other's work. I had a few compliments about this one, a ten minute sketch (5.5 X 6"). Sue wondered if I was inspired by one of the other artist's outfits, chartreuse and black. It might work that way…
Sue asked Erin to do a 15 minute sequence of movement and we drew it. We do this sometimes and it takes more concentration than anything. The 'chartreuse' Erin was drawn shortly after that sequence. I think drawing movement does something to your brain.
My 'style' of drawing doesn't really lend it self to movement drawing so results are never really anything, but the process seems to help, even more than a series of quick sketches.
This was my final drawing. I think I managed to loosen things up again. I think the other two are less successful, but they may have something for later.
