figure drawing again

Been really busy trying to finish up a project, so my last three Sargent studies have taken a back seat.  Nonetheless, I've been trying to get to drawing workshop when I have a chance, and it's a good enough way to blow off steam at the end of the week.  Practice is practice!

It occurs to me that I seem to get good results painting the model from the rear, and I think it's partly because broader and in some cases more simple shapes.  This suggests to me a need to move to a smaller brush maybe for detail work? Or be more deliberate when handling smaller details as with the head and face.
