 A pretty decent start to the evening.  Ten minutes and then.... nothing.  

Gestures, gestures and a few more gestures

 

Yep, gestures.  These are nice and clean.  Pretty happy with them.

Ah, the best 15 minutes of the night

 I had a lot of fun with this one and I was dialed in.  Happy with this and that's all I have to say about that.

Long pose

You may notice that I indicated many of Samm's tattoos, something I don't often do.  This time it was a decision because I was really having trouble with the lighting.  I had changed easel stations as I was happy with the POV I was presented with.  This angle presented a bit of foreshortening and a more interesting stacking of the various shapes and the drapery.  However, I had difficulty discerning detail and it became a slog.  I believe that such a mentality is reflected in the drawing.  So I tried to hide some of the problems underneath the body art. 

Some problems slowed me down

 I was having some serious difficulty with her neck.  Maybe with some work on the face this would take a turn for the better.  Sorry Samm, you deserve better.

2 ten minute sketches

 I liked (loved actually) to top pose.  I just hadn't gotten going yet so I wasted it with my rendering.  I started to find my groove with the second pose.

A little announcement to anyone who might follow me on Instagram

 You can't.

 

 

 

Explanation?  I don't have one.  They told me I violated their Community Standards and gave me a chance to dispute.  I disputed.  They erased my account.  They make it nigh unto impossible to contact them to get an explanation.  If I find out, I'll let y'all know.

This isn't such a bad thing.  The algorithm that's being used (not just on IG, but everywhere) has made the platform a less enjoyable but completely time sucking experience.  A little less screen time ain't such a bad thing.
