Life Drawing Week 3, 4 and 5

With the life drawing I like to think I've already improved over the past month. We've been taught that we need to step away from the paper and hold our pencils at an angle, drawing from the feet up. Personally, I find this way very hard to drawn and most times end up drawing the body too long, with the head too small because of it. I know  that this drawing style is for my benefit, but I feel some what held back because of it.  Practice makes perfect.
