The drawings in this posting are from a week ago, and these notes are written after a degree of reflection (usually I post the same day).
I believe that I am much more in control of what I find interesting in a particular pose, and then holding myself back from including that which I feel will distract from my main intention.
I first used two hard graphite pencils to explore spatially those aspects of the pose I was interested in, then two medium to start to place some emphasis, then I tended to mainly use a soft graphite pencil in my principal hand to provide focal points in the composition although I was trying to maintain my two-handed approach into this final third phase of mark-making.
Having clearly articulated, to me anyway, what happened, I will aim to continue with, and hopefully refine this attitude tomorrow. Again I will be at Paul Fowler's 'extreme poses' at Pegasus Art in Stroud.
