”JI” was in the same pose with the same background a couple of days ago for a second week in the same pose. This is my sketch of her from a different vantage point in the studio. Forgot to add the mirror.

Portrait and Figure




Portrait and Figure

Since I didn’t do “JO” justice in a full sketch of her I took time at the end of the pose to do a more accurate portrait of “JO” posing yesterday morning in an open draw session. It was the second week in the same pose I had sketched her in from a different vantage point in the studio. Had the same issues last week with portrait and figure too.
