Figure Study in Drybrush
Here's another dry brush figure study from a 2 and a half hour pose. Really enjoying this, and feel like I'm finally getting consistent results, that more or less every session I can come up with a decent figure. It feels good. This one is about 24 inches in width, so my main desire right now is to work considerably larger, since I fell like I'm missing a lot of detail.

This one had some challenging and subtle foreshortening--when the foreshortening is more obvious, sometimes it makes it easier in a way, but the subtle tapering as the figure receded towards the head was tricky, and i had to take care that I was paying attention to what I saw and not what I thought I saw. You never quite feel like you've completely captured it, and I lost a little bit of twist in the hips in the translation, but I'm overall satisfied with the result. In recent years drawing the figure has become a real passion, And I'm looking into sharing the price of a model with another artist for some longer studies.
