Darktiste - That was the plan :) At my weekly life class we usually start with a 5 min pose and work up to 20 (doing a 10 and 15 inbetween) and even then I usually limit myself to 5 mins on all poses as I find anything about that to be abit too long for a gesture, even if it means I draw the same pose 2-3 times (which I suppose isn;t bad).
Joseph - Hey man great to hear from you again :) I'm trying to spend as much time as necessary on it whilst not being unreasonable, just trying to get the overall impression and not bog myself down with a perfect 1 to 1 copy as that would be counter productive. Think I've spent about a week and a half so far, maybe slightly more? Thanks for the imput, noticed the same myself actually once it had dried. Just waiting for the drapery to dry so I can paint on top like you said and go darker in my shadows.
Yh I can't seem to shake this hard edge issue I'm having, definitely aware of it and have had it pointed out by my tutors but it still plagues me even though I make a conscious effot to go softer. I was thinking of trying a slightly different approach and leave my darkest darks to the very end and slowly build up to them once I have my halftones and highlights established, see if that helps make it click in my head, unles you have another suggestion?
