I love to do sleeping poses, especially when the model actually goes to sleep. This pose didn't last nearly long enough to suit me, but I guess I accomplished the general idea. It's done with vine charcoal on Strathmore drawing paper and is about 10 x 10". Has anyone out there used carbon paper for drawing, lately - or ever? Not long ago, I visited a drawing show where one of the pieces was done using carbon paper. I guess it actually works like a monotype, but much less messy. Anyway, I'm about to find out and am really excited. I love to make monotypes by putting the paper over the inked plate and drawing. Now that I think about it, I guess the carbon paper won't be exactly like that, but close enough and should be fun. Thanks for stopping by!

This is such a wonderful pose, Connie. Love the lights and darks you captured with the charcoal..
Wonderful work!!!
Wonderful sketch. Just the right combination of darks and lights. I like it when the model falls to sleep too. Makes the pose so much more natural, like not posing at all.
Very nice Connie. It has a timeless quality to it.
Thank you, Jeff - I appreciate your comment very much!
