Lady Gestures and Illustrations

Sketchbook page featuring two colored pencil based gesture drawings of a nude woman. Long pose illustrations of a nude woman drawing in red and gray pencils.

Reverse Angle Drawing, A Clothes Study

Sketchbook page featuring drawings of an art teacher in three sitting poses. Sketchbook page featuring drawings of art students and a woman in a chair.
