Thanks PEDROSCOPE,

I hope the second one wasn't too, ummm "chesty"?!? Does anyone else ever get a little edgy about stuff like that?

Lovely, chalk pastels? Not the easiest medium to work with. Great stuff, don't worry about the "chesty" thing, just draw what you see and what you want. When the drawings are as good as these you shouldn't have to worry what other people may think.

I DON'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH HER CHEST......AMPLE.....AMPLE AND WELL DEVELOPED, AND NICELY BALANCED...THE RENDERING IT HOT THOUGH.... SOMETIMES I MARVEL WHEN A MODEL TAKES OFF HER ROBE AND THEN SUDDENLY THERE IT ALL IS....WONDER WHERE THAT ALL CAME FROM...

I REALLY SHOULD POST SOME OF MY RECENT FIGURE STUFF.
NEED POINTERS AND FEEDBACK.

Thanks Randy, Pedro, and Chuster!!! Good comments. I find that life drawing is one of my favorite and most frustrating things I do in art. Always a challenge - I guess thats why I like it.

Randy - I use NuPastel sticks on strathmore 400 bristol paper (22x30) - Its very unforgiving, but again, I love the challenge.

I guess I will put another drawing up.

Thanks Denis, Chad, and Wanna

Ok - I have a question for everyone. What do you do with all your figure drawings??? Do you just keep them stashed away some where, do you get rid of them, do you sell them, what do you do with them all?

Here's one more.

i always think its best not to throw any of them away... i try and keep mine in a folder.

even if you don't think they are that good it might lead to some ideas in the future, or its a good learning experience to see where you think they went wrong.

Love the last two. lovely work. I keep mine in taped carbage bags but they're piling up. Makes a good insulation in the basement.
