No point beating about the bush, these are dull beyond belief. Not one redeeming line between them but here they are anyway. I felt the pose was uninspiring and took away any interesting lines, especially along the lower legs - they became straight lines. Still, that's not really an excuse.
I went out for lunch after the life class (in a beautiful setting on the Ile Rousseau, in the middle of the Rhone) and was asked to show what I drew. It was very embarassing which makes it even more strange that I should post them on the internet.
So to make this post a lot more interesting, here is the view from the window! It's looking towards the city with the Jura mountains in the background.

I like the way you captured the light on her right forearm.
I like the second drawing very much. It's very charming in his unfinished stage.
There you go, I thought these were v good - I like the line you've caught going along her side; it's got movement and it says such a lot about the how/why/what etc of her, which I think is very clever. I aspire to reducing an image to few careful, flowing lines
I agree with withering rainbow ... I love the unfinished-ness of it - it makes the viewer focus on one small area of the figure. Just BEAUTIFUL!
i dont think they are dull. they have some a nice sensual flow to them. i know it is different in style but to me, it has a similar fluidity as klimt and schielle's pencil drawings.
