Another drawing of Emma, apparently my little muse!

Emma

Emma strikes the loveliest poses without awareness or self-consciousness, and has a fascinating face. This is drawn mostly in the sfumato style -- hazy, with few hard edges.

Graphite, 12" x 9"

Wire Man




In my life drawing class, our teacher assigned this as homework to us: create a wire figure of a drawing we did in class. "Wire Man" is about 16" tall.


I've posted two close-ups below. By the way, if you try this, I recommend using soft wire, or even floral wire, because very firm, stiff wire is so difficult to work with that half way through you just might give up!


Speaking of life drawing class, I've got to go get ready for it! Happy Friday and weekend!
