I procrastinated all weekend around drawing. There was lots of blog post writing and sorting through past work. Yesterday evening I drew trash can fodder. Today things improved a bit but not much.
I really need to book a model for some soft, rounded poses viewed from the back. I've been procrastinating about that too, unable to decide who to contact. Finally I reached out to a London based model today and I'm waiting for her to get back to me.
Meantime, I'm working with the closest reference material I have which is mostly Nasim. But the drawing feels compromised because these aren't the right poses. With her elbows and angularity, Nasim will be perfect for the drawing I plan to do on a roll of paper (with zig zags drawn all across it). But the roll of paper has only just been ordered and won't arrive until later in the week.
Also I really want it to be perfect and great which is a killer for starters.
Anyway here's what I came up with. The group of drawings on one sheet is me trying to warm up, having already been drawing for over an hour. The first and last here I quite like. And the sheet of little drawings on the dotted paper is ideas for the back-view poses.
