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.

Caught in flight

Cartoon croquis

Todays model was Sonja, She is a teacher from Bjuv

Sonjas long neck and thick thighs just were made for a cartoon. So here it is.
- Sorry Sonja.

But she laughed and still looked happy when she saw it...

An intensive 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

Beautiful position (and qick to draw)
