Figure Study-thon

I picked up The Nude figure, a photo reference for artists last week, which I didn't think I'd like at first, but ended up really enjoying, and not just for all the lovely models. When doing figure drawings without a live model I like having the entire figure to work from, well lit and seperate from a background.  The photographer for this book was Mark Edward Smith. I started sketching these in the van as we drove around on the weekend, and spent the rest of Sunday hiding from the heat and drawing more of them.
