Female figure drawing five to ten minutes from life drawing session.

Female figure drawing five to ten minutes from life drawing session.  This are another set of figure studies I did from session on late July.  The poses are 5 to 10 minutes gesture study.  Ten minutes sometimes it is enough to get lighting down but not quite enough to get all the detail.  I am planing to attend the longer session probably 25 minutes pose.  Twenty five minutes is good for studying anatomy and give you a little more time to observe how muscle work together.  Longer than that is a little too long for my taste, but if it is a great pose with great lighting I could do it for possibly an hour.  For sketch or drawing study from life longer than an hour, I have never really done it.  Most of the time I will finish it within forty-five minutes then I don't know what else I could add to.  Longer than an hour in my opinion is great for painting.  But again unless the pose is really awesome, I would invest my time drawing and studying them.
If I have my own studio and model that I could direct the pose and the lighting, I could draw a long time.  But you have to realize all the life drawing I do are from open session and usually there are about ten to twenty people attend.  Sometime if I get lucky, I will score a good seat with good lighting in front of me.  But most of the time, they are not that great.  But I will still have to go it to keep up the skill and it is not so expensive.  If I have more money in my pocket, I would probably get my own studio setting.  With that the result would be a lot more dramatic and better because you will have more control over what you really want to draw and study.
