As soon as another model is added, there are a number of elements that come into a picture: compositional relation, perspective, scale, and of course, time management in drawing 2 figures in 20-25 minutes.

It's a simple line drawing of a pair of models. But what was interesting was that while I was drawing them, I sensed a certain sweetness in both the pose and their expressions. Later, after the pose, I overheard them say that they will soon be married.

This is a case where, had it been a longer pose and had I had a few seconds to spare at the beginning of the pose to think about the composition, I would have turned the paper to landscape orientation. But in a 2-minute pose, there is no thinking twice about anything except to react and draw.
Also, she wouldn't have been able to hold a pose like this for more than 2 minutes anyway.
That's what is so exciting (and difficult) about quick drawing; you just have to run with whatever the model gives you. That makes me both so excited about and appreciative of the excellent models who could provide such dynamic poses.
