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.

You have some very good gestures here. I'm a figure model, and of all the poses I do, I love gestures the most. I can get out there and do things that I couldn't even imagine in hte longer poses. Arch and twist my back, stand way off-balance or even stand on my head... the gesture gives me unlimited pose possibilities.
