  1. Ciao,
    sono molto belli tutti e tre: il primo trasmette un senso di abbandono completo, nel secondo "parla" il contrasto - La sagoma ultima, trasmette staticità e movimento insieme.. Molto belli!
    Ciao, ciao, Floriana

  3. Jean, these are just unique, very strong drawings. They are moving me to sign up for a figurative class. You had a great model, but the way you expressed the poses is very exciting.

  5. I do enjoy how you take the drawing far beyond the pose being provided by the model.

  7. Wow. I can't decide which one I like best. The first one made me a little sleepy, and then I saw the second one and I thought "oh my."

  8. The last figure is a bit different from anything I remember you doing before.

  10. I like the first and third best. As usual, I can't explain why--lines and colors are just more pleasing.

  11. Banjo, how funny, because I really like the second one. Something to do with gravity and how the body is resting and where it seems heavy.

  12. You got into a really fascinating style with the last one! Looks so cool!

  13. Thank you, all.

    L.W., I love figure drawing and I highly recommend it. If you don't have the patience for a class, you can look around for uninstructed workshops, where there's a model and people come and do their own work. That's what I do. Much cheaper than hiring a model for yourself.
