Use to denote nudity/mature subject matter Im Looking , Searching for the Connection~ Life from within

This is just some Ldrawing from an untutored session tonight , will post some more tutored stuff down the way, .. Im like so tired my eyes hurt, my head WANTS TO EXPLODE and my Left arm is WELL numb ,and no longer a part of my body ~I think ' but still there is the thrill of drawing a human ... even after a full day drawing ... I feel like Im a Kid in a candy store ....

I look for the connection between me and the model , sometimes its there and sometimes , it eludes me , but for the most part ... there is always that spark inside Me the Artist thats pushing on regardless ...I appreciate your thoughts

Drawn in Graphite B and Hb sometimes 2b

Sandra, I feel this work well in showing the figure in a 3d space, particularly the second sheet and the next to last one.

I am impressed with how much information you got down in such a short time! No wonder your arm hurts! Good stuff miss S!

Hi Sandra,

These are a great collection of your work!
I have to agree with you about showing a connection between you and your model though.
Some do show a rapport, but others she seems distant and wrapped up in her own thoughts.

Never thought I would say this, but my favourite one in this group is actually one of the gestures on the first pic, the one on the left. It just grabs me for some reason!

Love,
Jonathan

Re: Im Looking , Searching for the Connection~ Life from within

So many of these are so good that one feels compelled to share the empathy in your rapport with the model. As you suggest, when things go "click" all the other "thuds" go down the gurgler!
I particulary like the one with her resting on her elbows, with her legs crossed up behind.
Thank you for your bursting out and sharing these.
Geoff
