Sketching at the English national Ballet School (II)

This is the second batch of sketches I did. This one and last batch were done in graphite. Sometimes I try my best to experiment but I always see myself coming back to the medium I love the best, which is graphite.

I had a technique for doing these sketches that helped me move a little faster without being so messy and inaccurate. This was to make sure I waited patiently for the poses to come up, I then made a  mental picture in my mind of the different sequences they kept returning to, so while sketching it was easy to just add a leg or hand to an already sketched torso.  The torso was the kind of common denominator.
