Resting Figure Study

Description

A quiet figure study in warm sepia tones depicts a person resting on their side, one arm extended across the page. The soft, textured drawing and open sketchbook setting lend the piece an intimate, studio-like feel. Its understated presence would sit comfortably in a reading nook, studio, or gallery wall.

Artist

Draughtsman in Portland. Figure drawing and ink illustration, mostly people caught mid-gesture. Spent two years copying photos line for line before someone pointed out I was tracing proportion instead of seeing it. Still redraw hands four or five times and still get them wrong.
