Here I sketched the shadows only. At the Grange's life drawing sessions there's a little old lady artist (OK, she's probably 10 years younger than I am) who started drawing fairly late in life and worries a lot about proportion and perspective. Obviously not something that I worry about, -any more than I worry about run-on sentences! :-) None the less I (remember those of us that can't, or won't, do, teach!) suggested she try this, just doing the shadows, -that that would help her see the model a little differently and gain a better understanding of how and where things fit. So! I did this sketch as an example for her. Willow charcoal on Bee's 11 by 14 inch sketch paper
