Model Session – 16-10-20

After my sketch of Louise Brooks – 10-10-20 I wanted to do more in my hatched strokes style. Yesterday’s model session offered me the opportunity again to draw with a live model in front of my eyes.

Louise Brooks – 10-10-20

Just a quick sketch of Louise Brooks, moviestar and celebrity of the 1920s and 1930s.

Clairobscur – 06-10-20

Clara – 24-04-20
