Notice the angles an arm takes when supporting weight. Almost a zigzag pattern. 4 minute pose, 6B pencil in Stillman & Birn Gamma Series sketchbook.

Great balance required to hold this 4 minute pose. 6B pencil in Stillman & Birn Gamma Series sketchbook.

Not a lot I can add to this, but I do want to mention that two of my oil-wash on paper figure sketches will be included in an upcoming show, Biting The Apple, at the IAO Gallery in Oklahoma City. The theme this year is “Plush” (don’t ask) and they promise an evening of “Fabric to fantasy. Lush to lust. Sex to sateen. And everything furry in between”.

As a member of the Society of Animal Artists, I should fit right in. Right?

Happy Friday.

Brilliant and obviously accomplished work! It takes a lot of skill to express so much with so few lines 🙂

Absolutely loving these figure sessions. It makes me want to go back to it but I think the last time I did any was around 20 years ago!

If I could produce figure studies half as good as this, I’d be very happy! Thanks for your encouragement btw.
