Life Drawing: Raven IV

Today I used extra large sheets of craft paper. I love working large!

As usual, started with short (1 minute) gestures. My favorite is the bottom left:

In this quick pose, I got the gesture, if not the proportions:

Raven is a wonderful model. A dancer, she possesses such grace -- truly a pleasure to draw.
