First of a new set. Drapery and cloth have been a weakness of mine for a while so I decided to try and draw them for an hour every day for the next two weeks. The gestures where 60 seconds a piece and I tried to focus more on the clothes and folds than the body, then I did two five minute drawings and finally a half hour study. For the final pose the dress came out alright but the I spent to much time working on the head and face and I didn't even do a good job on them. That's going to be a tough habit to break, I'm so used to focusing on the face and thinking about the rest of the figure second. 
Finished, or as finished as it's going to get. I'm trying to get better at just calling a piece done because I know that I'll never really be happy with it . There are things that I need to work on and I have added them to the ever expanding list of things I need to work on. Overall it's not horrible for my first real painting in a new style  but I still have a long way to go before I reach my goal.
