Life drawing with a difference

This woman did manage to hold the umbrella for 25 minutes! I was impressed. It did lose a bit of height but still impressive. 

Models choose their own pose and this one made me a little uneasy initially but when I'm drawing I draw what I see and I was pleased with the drawing. If I write that blockbuster crime novel I could have one illustration in the bag...

I liked this drawing too. Previous drawings - some years ago - with chalk have been quite a different style and more sparing on the chalk. The lighting where I am is encouraging a different style. I am enjoying experimenting with it.

This pose didn't inspire me but I liked the result.
