Clothed! The model was clothed! I actually found it easier sketching nude people with no distractions . . . like folds of fabric and print patterns and color.
The model had on an elaborate costume with intricate patterns and gold threads. I tried to eliminate all the “distractions”. Here’s my first attempts at using water-color pencil.

Jokingly, I asked the model if she would take her clothes off. She replied, “Will you?” 
Oh thank goodness. I’m much to shy for all these nudes you do!

Jacqui,
After posting all my nudes I was trying to help you become more “worldly” . . . guess I’ll have to find more nudes for you as you aren’t quite there . . . yet.

So – did you?
You have to understand the human body – muscle and bone – in order to accurately depict a clothed figure. You did well with these drawings. Love the hints of color in the first sketch as they emphasize the figure.

Muscle and bone ain’t my “thing” but you are right – in the art world it is not a bone of contention that it helps to know the leg bone is connected to the thigh bone.
