| An artist drawing croquis |
A simple but difficult pose for the model
You cannot ask a croquis model to take a posture standing on her toes for more than about 2 minutes. More than 2 minutes must be considered as torture for the croquis model. This sketch is a 2 minutes croquis with some after adjustments.
Mostly you let the croquis model decide which postures she will have but you give a time duration. If that time is more than 2 minutes, the croquis model will take a relaxed posture and if you say 6 minutes or more, then the croquis model takes a lying posture. That's OK. You need to have those croquis exercises, but you also must have postures with "action".
Tell the croquis model to have one minute (or 2 minutes) postures and imaging being an athlet and you will get a series of some good balance exercises for your croquis session.

| A glas of milk to strengthen the skeleton |
An intensive croquis session with a milk drinking model. It was all about very short poses, 30 seconds, 1 minute and to slow down with a few 2 minutes. Instructive but no resulting sketches to save for posterity. Anyway here are some 2 minutes sketches.

No time for drawing chairs. It's all about
body propotions and position

Getting dry in the sun
Almost like the cormorant is drying its wings, Mona is drying her body and hair after a refreshing swim in the sea.
