Figure painting from life drawing sketches

Painting over figure drawings.  Figure painting from life drawing sketches. These two are another painted over my life drawing sketches. The sketches are ten minutes poses from the session and the painted over takes about couple hours each. When I draw at the session, I was trying to capture simple light and shadow within the limited amount of time. It is difficult to get it accurately but in the way it has advantages. Because you have the time limited that you are able to draw, you will have to force yourself to think quick and make it as simple as possible. So I think you get right into the essence of just light and shadow. It makes the sketch a lot less complicate and simplicity is for the most part great for painting. You get right down to just shape and value right away.
