Yesterday I showed you my first attempt at this pose. Sometimes, instead of forcing myself to suffer through a painting that is just not working for me, it's easier to start again. This was my second attempt at the same pose and I'm very happy with it. I made all the mistakes with my previous sketch, and with that behind me, I was able to focus on only the necessities to capture the essence of the pose and the model. I wish I had a little more time for the hands, but I don't thing they would add too much more to this sketch.
