In the Nude

Thursday, July 7, was my first time drawing a nude model. At first it was really awkward but then it comes to the point where the model is just something you are drawing rather than a naked person standing in front of you.

This picture was my one of my first. I like it only because of the legs especially the left thigh. (I only had five minutes to draw this so it is nowhere near complete)

This is one of my later pictures. This one is very aesthetically pleasing, well I think it is at least.

Here I was trying to use a different technique to display the joints.

This represents the inside, the volume of the person. As it progresses I start to darken around the outline.

This is one of my final pictures (It is also a different model). The head and feet did not fit into the scanner but it is fine because I was not focussing on the head and feet.

For those who know me well they know I have a fascination with the human body. I think the subtle curves and dents that our bodies have are beautiful. In many of my later pictures I emphasize on the curvatures of the body. I hope one day to be able to have a male model. I am always trying to draw the male anatomy but it is a lot more complicated than the female (especially for a female of my age).
