| Our model this week at Studio b.‘s regular weekly figure drawing session stood on a ladder during the warm-up drawings and the shorter warm-up poses, and she also posed up on a table. Usually our model is on a short platform or even on the floor, so this change in perspective was a rare treat. I enjoyed the challenge ... |

But for the most part, the challenge of figure drawing is in ... |
| Sometimes I am bone tired when I get to my regular weekly figure drawing session after a full day of work. Last night was like that. But it never fails, after the first half hour of drawing, I am energized again. Is it me? Is it being in the good company of other like-minded artists, like |
