The life sessions at the university started last week, so yesterday was my second session. They tend to have a lot of short poses. This was from the longest pose of the evening, a one-hour pose, that entailed only about 45 minutes, subtracting for two breaks. This is a detail, as it was a nude, but I concentrated on the face, so you're not missing much.
I've had difficulty capturing a likeness from life, and this is better than I usually do. I think it was better because I wasn't rushed into trying to catch it all in 20 minutes. One problem I had was that she held her head a little differently after the first break, and I continued to work with the shadow pattern I had started from the beginning. She had a spotlight above her.
It's not completely accurate, but she pretty much looked like this
