More Life Drawing

Not sure what I am looking for at the moment.

Am interested in flesh, and bodies, and arms... very much arms.

Hmmm. sounding a bit Hannibal Lecter there.

Other work too big for the scanner so will need to photo and post later.

Face

A quick post.

Up or down ?

The age old problem with hair.

New book.

Have a new sketch book. It's a sort of cheap imitation Moleskine, but I like it a lot. It's pages are yellowy creamy smooth and good for pen.

These were done on the tram in Manchester one saturday.

Hepworth Cello

You know I can't resist a cello. Something about the curve of the neck or the little twiddly bits...

Ahhhemmm.

Went to the Wakefield Hepworth gallery. A beautiful building inside and out. Go.

And there was a cello recital by Ryan Madhok in one of the galleries.

Until you see a whole room full of them, and then you fall in love and wonder why you ever walked past them in the first place. I urge you, if you haven't already, go and look at them. Properly. Wonders.
