Figure drawing update (one)

It has been a while, hasn’t it? Sorry. I’ve been busier than usual, albeit, some of that involves sleeping as much as possible so that I can function enough to accomplish some things. Some of these things include striving to minimize my overwhelm, organizing my apartment, paperwork, family stuff, and everybody’s favorite stressor - social media. I’ve also read seemingly endless commentary about what’s happening in our country, and listening to Black voices, as I want to be the best ally I can be. As for my own life, I made a new to-do list in hopes of becoming more disciplined. I will share that list soon.

Art is frequently on the back burner, but I have created a few pieces this year, and have more in mind. For now, I have decided to say “to heck with taboo” and share some of the figures I’ve studied. I have more references in queue, so I’m far from done, but I've made a quick video of my figure album.

Warning: THIS IS NSFW. Since Blogger's format changed, I can't embed video. *eyeroll* You'll have to go to YouTube to watch it. As a rule, I always share my disclaimer that I'm not a pro, and I'm not trying to sell work. I took Fine Art courses, but Figure Drawing was not covered in community college. I'm self-taught, and these are only studies (rough drafts of various techniques), so don't expect them to look fancy.

My table is covered in pencil shavings, haha. Sorry for the mess.

I do plan to renovate my art blog, and I will let you know when I do. To be honest, I really dislike the new Blogger, and I'm having trouble figuring it out. It'll get done, eventually.

Thanks for being here.
