        We’ve had two pregnant model in the last couple of weeks but first a couple of drawings of a couple. These are about 2 hours each.

        Then the first pregnant model: 8 and a half months. First time posing. Ten and twenty minutes.

        Thanks for looking.

        Then one hour.

        I later learnt she had gone home and went into labour immediately after the session.

        I think these were 20 minutes each.

        Seven minutes each.

        One hour.

        Then the second of the pregnant models. These were about 2.5 hours and 90 minutes.

        Sculpture was after 5 two hour sessions.

        Nathan.

            You are the master of thread titles!
            I am in awe of your drawing/painting/sculpture skills, Nathan! And I am so jealous of those pregnant models. Beautiful!

                My favorite drawing is the one hour of the first pregnant model. The light is just marvelous! The sculpture is also incredible. It is just lovely.

                    I don’t know what mood you were in when drawing Nathan some of your models have a sour expression, must be the weather. :)

                    The 7 min with the male raising his leg is impressive display of strength if he held it for the 7 mins you captured it well.

                        Perhaps you should recruit a midwife into the drawing group if these ladies are going to cut it quite so fine!
                        All good stuff and the pregnant subjects are suitably monumental but again my favourites are the analytical linear ones. The one hour gent on the couch head on hand would be my pick of the bunch.
                        Bill the model with the raised leg is cheating. His foot is on a stool….

                                Thanks Harry, that stool is too subtle for my eyesight. :)

                                    Thanks Bethany, it was easy to pick a title for this selection.

                                    Kate thanks. I need to remove some of the base of the sculpture but keep the sense of turning.

                                    You are right Bill, they do look quite dour or severe. As Harry suggested he was resting the leg on a stool. I haven’t really drawn the stool apart from a faint line for the circular top.

                                    Harry the ladies in the group all suggested they knew what to do if the model went in to labour, though as grandmothers they are now more used to babysitting grandchildren over half-term holidays. I liked the long pose you mentioned as I thought I capture the perspective well.

                                    Thanks David.

                                        The one hour drawing of the male model on the sofa is my favourite.

                                            Enjoyed this group of works Nathan. Keep an eye on the eye-distances .. on several of these head they are just getting too close to the nasal bone/nose.. I see it most often here in your more forward facing heads.. easy to fix: line up the inside of the eye with the nostril wing..
