Second week at life drawing after a couple of months off. I wasn't too happy with a lot of the drawings I did tonight, the one scanned here was the best I think. I was trying some new materials tonight - a block of black chalk pastel - don't think i'll keep using it as it wasn't too fun/easy to use :-)

First day back at life drawing class and things were rather difficult! After the usual set of 20 30 second sketches to get into the right frame of mind we did some longer poses, around 20 - 40 minutes. The first was done in charcoal in a looser style, the lying down pose was done with a couple of different weights of pencils.
