Study with Girl and Cats

I used as a source a photo of a friend's daughter napping on a sofa with two cats on lookout. The inherent stillness of them all made me think of traditional still life compositions. It may be a bit hard to make out at first - I was using a very loose constantly moving pen to build up mass rather than taking a strictly linear approach as in a line drawing.

Figure Study



I did this at a regular life drawing session I attend. Medium was India ink, dip pen, and brush. No pencil in advance, so, as happens with ink, it was a lesson in commitment.

Hand and Foot Drawings from 11/14 and 11/15



I find myself drawn (pun creation was unintentional, but now that I see it, it stays) to sanguine-colored ink, for some reason. Maye it's the older look of it. Have to try some experiments with off-white to tan colored papers.
