    Day 10 – 1/10 of the way. Noticed that I’ve actually returned to the beginning figure drawing course. Repeated head and torso chapters yesterday; today it’s arms and shoulders.

    Lots of lecture watching today and taking notes. Mixed results trying to apply what I’ve learned

    Day 16. Did one of the daily sketch sessions, 1-minute, 2 minute, 5 minute and 10 minute pose. The 1 minute outcome is pretty ridiculous, but the 2 minute poses felt better than expected. For the last of the 5 minute and the 10 minute poses, I unexpectedly had time for more than approaching the basic shape and found myself asking “now what?” I just started on the light and shadow section, so that seems like good timing in terms of next steps. I probably still go too thick too soon in terms of line work, and my forms feel a bit too angular at times

    Day 18 – 5 minute pose light and shadow drawing. Interesting how the eye shifts to the shape of the shadows while drawing.

    Day 20. Something different today. I’m participating in the December master study art challenge, and one of my pics is an ink drawing by Gibson. This is just a first stab. I’m processing, I’m observing. Can’t quite verbalize it yet. I didn’t quite capture the postures, the attitudes. Faces and hands need work. The question for each group of lines: what’s the purpose here?

    Day 21. Attended the live drawing this morning, and ouch was it rough. Felt like regression to zero. This evening I did a first approach of my next master study victim, a Prud’Hon.

    Day 22 Why did I decide to do this challenge? I’m sick of it, and yet, I enjoy the act of drawing as long as I can let go of the outcome
