Human Figure Drawing

 

 

 

 

 

I'm still working on the Hometown Series and am nearly finished with the second painting. They are more difficult than you would think that they would be, finicky.

In parallel, I am also working on other projects like figure drawing. The work above is a work in progress, a drawing using graphite drawing pencils on Bristol Smooth paper. You are looking a small portion of a complete nude female figure. This little bit took an afternoon to accomplish. Actually the process is a rather Zen experience. The goal is not to see any lines, just graphite that looks like a human. Tricky. Taking a photo of the piece helps me see what errors I have made. Now I have to go pick up my sticks and try again.
