Life drawing with Tracy

With a new group based in Deal, Kent, we had a model who did just a few longer poses.
In this first pose, Tracy adopted a rather slouched pose in a metal chair.

I started off with this pencil drawing, with the emphasis on line. Compared to the charcoal sketch I did afterwards (see below), I think it lacks some life and vigour. while I am a lot happier with the charcoal one.

 In this last one-hour pose, I continued with charcoal, and added some colour with Conte crayon.
I did quite a lot of re-working of this, and made the left foor larger at quite a late stage, realising that the foreshortening was not properly reflected in my picture.
