Two images of Lesley seated

The first of these images was done in charcoal, and took about 15 minutes.

I'm not particularly pleased with the result. One problem is that I've found that when drawing with a board held on my lap, I tend to do the legs too small and I'm not too sure how to remedy it. Maybe using an easel, which would enable me to step back from the picture and get a more holistic view.

 This second image in pencil is a bit more successful, I think, although I still struggled with the right leg. There was some foreshortening with the knee pointed towards me, and the foot going back under the chair. This took about 20 minutes.
