Description We are getting close to finishing this series of bodyscape drawings Just one more female to go and then 'normal' drawing will resume  

Another great reference from the magical photographer the full photograph depicts the model sitting on a high stool or table, I cropped my drawing to just show the model 'floating' to fit in with the other poses in this series.

No. 7 in my Bodyscape Series - the idea is to produce a number of drawings exploring the human form, I wanted to avoid 2 elements 1. Facial expression and 2. Naughty bits  Why? well the 1st point was because I wanted the pose to make the viewer think about the emotional state of the model rather than a facial feature - are they sad, distressed, lonely or happy? The 2nd point was not because I am against full on Nudity, I think when done correctly it is incredibly powerful and thought provoking - I just wanted to avoid the censors and enable my work to be seen by as many people as possible - I also wanted to allow my 1st point to be the main focus and not the size of someones X, Y or Z!!  You will also notice that there is no shadow or background on any of the pieces - again this was to make the body the main focus. I have really enjoyed the series and I am sure I will add to it as time goes by - with so many amazing references out there it would be wrong not to   Other pieces in this series...



Drawn as always on smooth Bristol Board with Faber Castell 9000 series pencils and a Tomo Zero eraser - size for this drawing was c40cm X 50cm

Paul-Shanghai In reply to MeredithCaz [2015-05-20 05:54:28 +0000 UTC]

Thanks - I guess the whole series has been about developing my skin tone, shading and texture - its hard to visualise on the 'small' screen, but in original size you can really see the textures and tones - thanks for commenting

Amazing piece, like all the others on this series. Only the folds on his feet look a bit strange (would not expect so many all around the heel), but that probably because he was resting them on the stool you cut out.

Thanks - now that you say it your right, i should have toned the wrinkles down! not to worry - we live and learn!

Beautifully captured as ever. There is something fragile and endearing about the near-foetal position.
