#LifeDrawing log: quite a struggle last night. It's been a while since I've really felt like I've had enough time for the twenties; in both cases I would've liked more time for the second round of shading. But it was a new model and I did feel like I learned from the studies, so overall that's a positive thing.

Chef's special was drawing the line of action and the hip and shoulder lines. I've actually fallen out of the habit of doing this in most of my drawings, though I think overall I feel the rhythm of lines more, so it was a nice reminder to do this every so often. The poses weren't great for it, though; the model favoured quite hard corners.

I did manage to avoid the rain showers on the way there and back, at least!
