For some of the short poses I really like to break out the paints, I keep it to a limited palette so I can move quickly.

Ink Figure Study No. 002 by *aaronmiller on deviantART

i usually work in oils for the long pose. But i really want to break it up and work in ink. Its been great to shake things up a bit if you keep using the same materials all the time.
