Composition is great. You will eventually push me out the door early Saturday morning for a studio life drawing experience--or even a proper class. You do inspire. I have missed those hours of life drawing.
Yes, "realism" was the first word that hit me. Here is a (probably) working woman who's been around and isn't interested in romanticizing or idealizing anything, including herself. Am I reading too much between the lines?
Thanks, Jane. I did make this drawing into a celebration of curve and line, exaggerating form. I think it's beautiful, though not a representation of conventional commercial beauty.
Banjo, you are reading into this, which is not too much, it is exactly what art does, encourage you to see something, tell yourself a story.
Lately, I've been using life drawing as a starting place for works that combine reality, imagination and experience.
