Cultural Drawing Class 1

I am attending a drawing class, but really it's just an excuse for artists to get together and draw. Cicada has a social outlet through a book and food club, so it's high time I found something similar. It is a Cultural themed class where in all the models represent a different culture. I really enjoyed it although I wasn't able to draw for long on account the model got bored and faked sick so that she wouldn't have to do it for as long as agreed on. How do I know she faked sick? Well, I don't. But considering she asked for a break just prior to that just to, seemingly, check her cell phone AND she told me before the class she did not want to do it.... I think it's a reasonable guess. At least the man in charge allowed us to take a picture of her so we could finish later. I like to work top down these days, especially to avoid wrinkles in clothes changing.....I only got her head. I put it to black in Photoshop.

Anyway I look forward to other classes. I'll post each drawing, even if it is just an iphone version, which is what this one is.
