A figure study to start with. From time to time we at Luneside Studios run life drawing sessions. These are open to friends of the studio, a limited number of artists known to us and some bona fide students as well as ourselves.
This particular study was done in 2004. I deliberately limited my media to a micro pencil with a 0.5mm lead. These pencils are an echo from my engineering drawing days of a lifetime ago. It is a good exercise to sometimes restrict the medium and thereby explore its (sometimes hidden) possibilities.
This drawing is about 42 cm square. It was drawn on a sheet of A2 paper cut down to a square format. For some reason I seem to prefer this [square] format just now.
