We've started with warm up. First with 3 minutes drawings and then moved down to 1 minute and lastly to 30 seconds. The first couple of drawing weren't so good as I had quite long break with my drawing. But as I kept going my drawing became more and more powerful and I could easily capture the weight and the essence of the pose.
