I've tried long-pose sessions occasionally, but I tend to get bored working on the same pose for more than 20 min., so I usually end up wandering around the studio getting different angles. In this post, the top sketch I show was made during a 20-minute pose with a non-hairy brush pen:<br />http://tina-koyama.blogspot.com/2015/10/rusty.html<br />I find that if I spend much longer than 20 min., I end up overworking it. It's hard to simply observe without working on it, but I think that would be a good thing to try. It might prevent overworking but still gain more detail or just better value definition (which is always my biggest challenge). I don't think I've tried a 20-min. pose with a hairy brush pen. I will try it next time, though, because I do get better control with it when I slow down.MiataGrrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00727208043312788510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220865105573981879.post-29910644255754975702016-01-09T14:04:01.426-08:002016-01-09T14:04:01.426-08:00These are good - I'm impressed by how the 2, 5...These are good - I'm impressed by how the 2, 5, and 10 minute poses are all complete statements, just with varying levels of detail. Coincidentally I just recently started using brushpen (a Pentel hairy) in life drawing and really like it as way to jumpstart my brain to think holistically and draw intentionally on the short poses. <br />I haven't tried it on any longer poses yet. I wonder if a long pose would be better used to work up the drawing with more detail, or to spend more time observing and considering between marks. <br />Have you tried it on a long pose?<br />Matthewmdmattinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18215455490958117703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220865105573981879.post-6328002855054671462016-01-07T19:13:25.825-08:002016-01-07T19:13:25.825-08:00Doesn't seem like you're rust at all.
