Thanks so much for sharing this with us Cindy. As I'm sure you know, this kind of work pays big dividends when it comes to personal improvement, personal artistic growth. I daresay you will find that drawing experiences like this help both your drawing and your painting. All of us need to slow down and pay more attention when we draw and never stop practicing basics.
Years ago, when I couldn't afford to hire models, I found people would sit for me if I gave them the finished drawing. Occasionally I was humiliated when the sitter declined the finished work.
I still can't get some people to sit for me in exchange for the drawing, but at least I can afford to pay models now.
Thanks again for sharing and posting. It was refreshing, informative and inspiring. I hope you share more wtih the rest of us.
