Plateauing badly

For some reason my eye was not there.  The technique was not improving but instead I was standing still.

That kind of really set the tone of the session because as the outcomes clearly illustrate I have reached a plateau - but not only that I struggled with the session.  For some reason I my eye was not there.  The technique was not improving but instead I was standing still. I am keeping this post short because a lot of what I will be saying has already been said.   The outcomes are simple:

• Draw more
• Draw anything
• Focus on tone and shading

I enjoyed this pose because of the sculptural element - but I wasted the anatomical elements of it.  It was a bad day! Awful, choppy drawing (above).  Line is far too heavy.  Scratched to hell. This example is a little better - but this is a drawing I rescued.  It was a fight from start to finish.  Such a great pose as well - wasted! Quite like the dynamism of this colour pencil exercise I like to do with these quick poses.  But - proportions are all over the place.  Just could not hit it today!
