The Longer Pose

1 hour study - using graphite.  I began by lightly putting in all the shapes of the body, using lines such as those provided by the sofa to reference everything.  Then I went in with heavier lines, more pressure, and finally some shading to show dark and light areas and help give a better impression of form.  I used my thumb against the graphite stick to establish unit of measurement, to help judge the size/proportion of the rest of the body.
