How essential life drawing is to not only understanding the human body but perspective line and colour. It is a perfect way to practice all the skills needed in any art process. 
I was fortunate to have the lovely Freya pose throughout her pregnancy, this drawing being the final one before ‘Brodie ” was born. 
Here I experimented with using the fixed line of a sponge to send the lines beyond the figure. It was a 5min pose so concentration was key. The sponge retained the ink really well and gave a great saturation where needed. Enjoyed the process greatly.

Called to get a quote for framing the double portrait I am now working on…they were shut today! Soo wish I could share this now but need to wait as there is going to be an unveiling and I would not want to give any spoilers away before then…frustrating!
