This one is really striking, I love the composition and the sometimes sharp, sometimes vague definition of her shape~

Have to give credit where it's due, the model did most of the work, I just sketched her.

Thanks :)

Very nice values but the proportions of her leg look off but then again some people really do look like that in life. I would have had to of been there and saw the model before I go saying stuff about your proportions but this piece is very nice and I love how shelooks so incredibly bored.

It was done in 2006, open studio . . so if I touched it up, that's kind of defeating the purpose of a life study. I have many failings, and try to take the small improvements as they come. But I have thought about doing an oil study based on this sketch, and in something like that, I would probably correct a few things.

Anyway, thanks for looking.

It's always nice to dive back into pieces of work. I never want to stop working on my pieces. I always like to go back and try and fix things up.

Lovely life drawing. I always get to draw with a group of artists from the model every Sat and some of my best sketches are from those two hours each week. Drawing from life is so valuable for training your eye and observational skills!

A saying : It takes two people to create a work of art . . one to paint it, and one to tell them, "Stop working on it!" Heard variations on that, i.e., "A painting is never complete, it is abandoned."

I've noodled a lot of things to death and tried to learn from that. I call this compulsion, "the curse of the novice."

Not entirely sure to quote him, but I think it was Nelson Shanks that said during a break to a student who continued to work on the pose, "What are you looking at?" Likewise, it came as a complete surprise that some plein air painters touch up their works in the studio later . . which to me, completely defeats the purpose of observation. If it's going to be a studio painting, then why not just invent the landscape, or work from photographs? Why go through the motions and then call it something it's not?

lol I've heard the same thing. I've watched some of the people in my figure drawing class worked on things too much and ended up over working it. I've done that before. It's kind of like your working on something and to step back and looks great you work on it for one hour more and you end up killing it. X.x that's when I stop walk away give msyelf a break and come back fix it get a few opinions on it and then call it quits.
