20minutes Figure Exercise

This was a quick 20minute exercise in figure drawing (quickly becoming my favorite kind of exercise...you know versus physical exercise).

I used D. Michie's gorgeous black and white as my "exercise" for today.  I'm working on a few things from proportion to shading to ....okay everything a usual.  I'm really happy with the energy of the lines and the proportions. - There's obviously more work that COULD be done but...for 20minutes I'm happy.
