You are absolutely right Michelle! I tried to remember everything I learned in his workshop and I had his book out, as I had just finished rereading it. So I tried to think about creating the skin and thinking about how nothing is straight or flat, everything on the body is round. It really made me get back into that zone, that had eluded me since before my surgery two months ago.
I did not work on it yesterday. Maybe you, or someone else could shed some light. For some reason my drawing looks like her head is tilting more than the reference. I don't think I mind it, but I can't figure out what is creating the look. Could it just be that I have not "put in" the hair. The lines I have for the back of her head/hair are fuller than the reference, I will make that adjustment.
Thank you for the compliment, Michelle! Wish me luck on the rest of the piece. . .

Great start Patricia! I really like how you rotated / change the pose from the reference picture. It really makes a difference. Good job.

I prefer your drawing to the reference photo, and it looks very much like her. So far, it's lovely Patricia. I wouldn't take the fabric very far with this one, it will detract from the softness of her face. I would say that you are over your block and have come back with flying colors.

Thank you Josef and Jean,
I am really glad you like the tilt of her head in the drawing. It was not intentional, except that as I was concentrating on the drawing I kept thinking about Chris' sweetness and the way she tilts her head and has a quiet smile. Intuitive? Wouldn't that be cool!
I agree that the fabric should remain unfinished. I like that look anyways. But I do want to finish her hand and may have to do some indication of more drapery so that it doesn't look to be floating?

Pat-
This is just beautiful, she has a madonna-like quality to her, sweet and serene.

Pat,
I also like the tilt of her head in the drawing better than the reference; with her expression, it clearly communicates a bright and appealing personality. You have definitely come back from your artist block.
