Female Bodyscape Drawing 2

The second in the series of female bodyscapes and the 5th overall;


The reference for this piece is fro a very very talented photographer and his photograph entitled Cyllian  please check out the rest of his work which is incredible.


Bodyscape Series - the idea is to produce a number of drawing exploring the human form, I wanted to avoid 2 elements 1. Facial expression and 2. Naughty bits  Why? well the 1st point was because I wanted the pose to make the viewer think about the emotional state of the model rather than a facial feature - are they sad, distressed, lonely or happy? The 2nd point was not because I am against full on Nudity, I think when done correctly it is incredibly powerful and thought provoking - I just wanted to avoid the censors and enable my work to be seen by as many people as possible - I also wanted to allow my 1st point to be the main focus and not the size of someones X, Y or Z!!  You will also notice that there is no shadow or background on any of the pieces - again this was to make the body the main focus. I have really enjoyed the series and I am sure I will add to it as time goes by - with so many amazing references out there it would be wrong not to  

Drawn as always on smooth Bristol Board with Faber Castell 9000 series pencils and a Tomo Zero eraser - size for this drawing was c40cm X 30cm
