Figure Drawing Session

Here are two drawings from the Sunday drawing session. I usually work on the figure, but lately I've been focusing more on drawing the portrait. It's rare that I can get someone to hold a pose this long so this is a good opportunity to draw a portrait from life. I did about five drawings. I'm showing the portrait and the hour-long pose.


Here's the long pose:




Both were done with conte. Someone commented that I work in a "minimalist" style. Feel free to comment, criticize, or question.
