Tattooed Nude

Model Sofia

Two approaches to Sophie

The same model in similar poses from the same viewpoint drawn one week apart. For the top one we were asked draw inspiration from the work of Egon Schiele. In the bottom there is barely any line at all. I used to work with the maxim that there are no lines in nature and tried to define everything by shadow alone, so this drawing is a reversion to that.

Both drawn at the Life Drawing sessions at the Oak And Pastor pub, Junction Road, London N19. Tutor Jonathan Ellis.  

Out of the darkness 2

I covered the paper with charcoal then drew with an eraser and added chalk highlights. The same technique here.
Model Dwayne.
This was done at the life drawing sessions on Monday nights at the Oak And Pastor, on Junction Road, London N19.

Standing female nude

Model Stella, who is also here

I should have mentioned before that the tutor at The Lord Palmerston is Jonathan Ellis and has been since the beginning of the year.

My first colorization

I came across this vintage photo of a woman with extraordinary hair. It was ideal as a cover image for my book Leah And Her Twelve Brothers, and better still once colorized with pixlr.
