Counting Stars

I also love the graphic impact of simplicity and complexity.

Graphic Influence

I love the graphic impact of boldness and simplicity. Combine that with a nude study from the weekly Tuesday evening drawing group and you get something like this.

Drawing Preggers

Our pregnant model is due in March and still plans to pose monthly until then. It will be interesting to see the 9 months of poses all together. She also plans to pose with the newborn baby next Spring.

Baby name ideas: Model, Willow (a charcoal stick), Timesup, Art, Easel, Shade. Oh well, I tried.

Warmup drawing and ear piercings.

After five two-minute warmup poses we move on to 10-minute, 20-minute, and 40-minute poses (below).

Artist with Nude

I visited an artist's studio recently and shot a photo of him next to one of his paintings with my iPhone. Here's a quick sketch made from the iPhone reference.
