Model in repose


 Some areas got a bit too much attention while others hit just the right note.  I regret some of the strong linework along the left arm but am very happy with the subtle shading and modeling around the hip and belly.  Had fun with the hair but think I could have gotten away with far less linear treatment and just used the edge of the charcoal to achieve a similar look.  Still, it is the closest part of the figure to the viewer and therefore would logically be the most detailed and focused aspect.  Hmmm, I wonder if I should try an exercise in changing focal points... the head and shoulders being blurred with the attention to detail on the belly and hip area.  Might be fun.
