A Day at The Beach

Here is another life study from a trip we took several years ago.  Here I was trying to quickly incorporate some simple value study and again a quick sketch (30min again).  I'm having trouble letting go. So this is probably worth while activity.  I like the pose.  I think I captured the essence.  However it is hard to tell he is on the sand.  I should have placed the ground shadow to anchor him better.  I just noticed that.  The proportions are better this time.  He actually looks like a baby who isn't sure of the sand.  Second life drawing attempt and I'm happy with the progress. ... 2 down 9,998 to go.
