impressionistic nude pastel drawing

A 5 min. sketch I made yesterday at a session at Rotterdam. Fun to do short positions again.

Into the light – 15-06-17

back view of a nude female figure wearing thigh-high socks, standing before a circular light source. Diagonal pastel strokes create movement and texture.
