Here it is morning and I'm posting a drawing - usually it's late at night or in the wee hours that I post. Actually, I think I like this better, but one probably can't change one's established ways. This drawing was done from a seated position, so I was looking upward at the model - my favorite way to draw from life. Well, I don't mean that I like to draw sitting down, but there was no stand for her, so I sat down. Standing is my favorite way to draw, but that only works for me if the model has a platform. This was a quick drawing, so there's a lot that could be 'corrected', but then I would probably lose a lot, too. And every time - and I do mean every time - I do that, I ruin the drawing This nude is one that I cut from a group of three. There's some shading on the right from the nude that was there. Just didn't like the others and I really loved this pose, too. This was done on Borden and Riley Bristol Plate - and as much as I love Bristol, it's just a bit less forgiving for charcoal work. This drawing is 14 x 5" - thanks for looking!
