Life drawing

Just found in an old portfolio. It’s a conté crayon life drawing from classes in Liverpool. I was 19 at the time.

Sometimes you imagine your old work not being very good. I’m definitely better at drawing now, but I’m pretty proud of my 19 year old ability to proportion a human body as good as this.

I can’t remember the model’s name-apologies, this is rare for me. In the drawing breaks, she’d walk around in a floral dressing gown critiquing everyone’s work – a real character. Those weekly classes were a lot of fun.
