Portrait Of Emma

The first of two drawings from Monday night. This is the co-op in which we rotate modeling duties. Two forty-five minute sittings per pose. I usually work with Sharpies on a 9x12 sketchbook.

This one is of Emma, and only those who know who it is will recognize her, but I like the melancholy--giantess look. I thought of putting in a horizon, about the level of the trouser cuff, maybe some surf too, but there isn't room, and that would be kind of fakey.
