After working from the model for a few months, I had the opportunity to attend a workshop in the Hudson Valley which was conducted by the legendary artist Burton Silverman at his summer studio. This really changed my approach to figure drawing! This is one 11 x 14 graphite drawing from that five day workshop. You can see the increased value range and the emphasis on larger simplified shapes. I will post more from the Silverman workshop in the future. Check out Burt Silverman's work at burtonsilverman.com
