Oh, so happy with these

  I hate admitting how much I like some of what I do, but this experience awoke something in me that made me realize that I only need to make myself happy.  If I'm happy then the final piece is probably something that others will be happy viewing.  

  The drawing of Nora is, unfortunately, on the backside of a page of gestures and so there is bleed through happening.  That doesn't take away, again for me, from how I feel about the drawing.  I had been immersing myself in the drawings of Nicolai Fechin and it was starting to manifest itself in my rendering.  I had several attendees and guest artists comment of the sensitivity of my line.  I had never thought of it that way and it caused me to look at my mark making differently, in a good way.

  The conté drawing of Stephan was difficult to just stop.  He is such a physically structured human being that I could see how the muscles linked to the bones of the skeleton under the skin.  The shadows were informed and the shapes and mass were a joy to draw.  Just can't say enough about all of the models I was privileged to work with/from.
