There are drawings I keep and drawings I don't keep. Not all are worth the time to spray, photograph, inventory and the archival space to store them.
But the ones that capture a pleasing movement, or something of the sitter's personality and beauty are judged keepers. One model might provide more interesting poses or form than another. I might wind up with only a few pleasing sketches in a session with an uninspiring sitter.
Some drawings have a simple charm in only a few lines and shadows, while others that I've spent more time on might be boring or just "off" enough to merit the fire.
You can see more of the ones I've saved from recent sessions at my blog.
