Fall semester for the Emeritus classes just started. Found myself a bit rusty after not drawing for a few months . . .but nudity has a way of waking the senses .

Ink, Warm-up sketching

As I posted these sketches I realized the model did not have a hair on his body ANYWHERE . . . except on his chin. Just goes to show how intently one looks at contours, lines and shadows when drawing, “nudity” isn’t the focus.
My favorite
Great work!!

I really like the action of the first sketch, but my favorite is the same as yours – great proportions and a nice emphasis with the darker lines. You’re off to a great art start, Judy.

Shari,
Thanks! I did feel rather rusty and my arms were hurting (sometimes the fibromyalgia comes to class with me UNINVITED). I started off with ink so I could give myself permission just to scribble and scratch and not worry about proportion etc. It was a good choice since it helped me just “go for it” and not think about the outcome.

Sometimes I enjoy focusing on one part of a model’s body rather than the entire figure. And no, not that part.

Shari,
I haven’t the vaguest idea what “part” you are referencing . . . .. . . . . . .
