The eighth day of life drawing

I actually got something done this time so I was pretty pleased. Lots of long poses so I actually got something done that I was reasonably happy with. Four poses before break then Gordon went back to two of them after break so even if I didn't finish the poses I could still go back to them after break and finish off with plenty of time to add more detail so I was a pretty happy bunny. Which is odd for me. I will admit when I started off with a skeleton and added the body around it it was mildly easier however I still managed to mess the proportions up a little so it's not full proof, although I guess it does rely on the fact the artist knows what they are doing and, you know, can draw. The shading went ok too seeing as though I'm constantly told to add colour to a picture that isn't even close to being finished. Yes I will add colour once I have drawn a body to add colour to, and I stay true to my word as in both long long poses I managed to finish the drawing and add a little bit of shading to it as well. I did buy shading pencils to learn how to use them after all and I think I am. Although I'm not really one to judge.
I give up with this rotation issue

Instead of using skeletons I thought I would use circles to map out body parts which is why Gordon's head looks a little odd, that and the fact I couldn't see half of it behind his shoulders.

So this was supposed to be the first sitting pose but Gordon wasn't comfortable so he changed it to this one. See I do listen, I put the skeleton in and I will admit it was mildly useful.
