This was the second traveling model I hired.
She was wonderfully gracious, and like the other photo models I have worked for, she had never tried modeling for sketching. She not only liked it, but hoped to return with her partner, who she also wants me to draw. Such a compliment!
I look forward to meeting her again sometime soon.

Preparation sketches from photo references
When I work with professional photo models, I like to prepare in advance by sketching from photos in their portfolio. Since I know I’ll only have a limited time to work with them, this helps me to familiarize myself with their proportions.
Plus, I can do analysis by comparing my sketch to the photo reference, which helps me see (and, hopefully, eventually correct) my most common mistakes.
