Comfort zones and stepping there out of

Pushed myself a bit for Sunday Sketches. I've been wanting to try and draw a realistic full figure for ages. You'll have seen a swish in the right direction recently with my mermaids but I've deliberately kept them quite stylised and simplistic.

I've been trying to persuade my boyfriend to pose but he seems somewhat reluctant... can't think why... I mean I wouldn't put his picture up here for all to see would I?

Well, he's let off the hook, for as the fates would have it, I was presented with with the perfect life model by Kelly. She's inviting visitors to her blog to practice some figure drawing with her and she kindly presented some beautiful poses to help us do just that.

I won't pretend this was first attempt, but it was fun practicing and I had to keep myself occupied because boyfriend was in a sulk. His team conceded a goal in the last minute of added time taking a win to a draw. He was not happy readers... not happy at all....

Next week.... I might just draw some legs!
