to five minute) poses from the life drawing sessions I attend regularly.\u00a0 I almost never exhibit or sell these pieces.\u00a0 The sketchbook is a practice space.\u00a0 I try different media, experiment with things like varying the scale or drawing shadows as contours, and I really don&#8217;t worry that some of the drawings fall flat or even crash and burn.\u00a0 Sometimes I use a big sketchbook and sometimes a smaller one.\u00a0 In the fall of 2010, I filled up two 18&#8243; x 24&#8243; (45.7 x 61 cm) spiral-bound sketch pads.\u00a0 More recently, I&#8217;ve been using a smaller sketchbook, but when I looked back at the bigger ones I felt the fact that I could get multiple figures on a single page conveyed a sense of movement, of one pose flowing into the next, much more effectively than the smaller sketchbooks, where most of the poses are isolated one to a page.<\/p>\n<p>In this post I&#8217;ll share some of those fall 2010 sketchbook pages.\u00a0 Rather than discussing them individually, I&#8217;ll give the images in random order, with my thoughts interspersed.\u00a0 Most of the words relate to the whole set of sketches, not just those directly above or below.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2226\" style=\"width: 464px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a

a typical quick pose set, a model will perform ten two-minute poses of their own choosing.\u00a0 Usually the monitor or supervisor of the session will call &#8220;Change,&#8221; at two minute intervals.\u00a0 It&#8217;s like a dance, but instead of being performed in flowing movement, it&#8217;s composed of a series of held positions.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2228\" style=\"width:

consistent style or feeling that is maintained through a whole set of long poses.\u00a0 When the feeling or type of pose changes radically from one to the next, a multi-pose page looks less like a

than a long pose does.\u00a0 It&#8217;s not possible for a model to really push limits or put intense energy into a long pose.\u00a0 Quick poses are a performance, a gift of energy to the artist.\u00a0 I always feel that I must give total focus and intensity to this exercise.\u00a0 Like most of the good things in life, a quick pose must be savored in the moment, because it can&#8217;t
