Thanks for visiting. This blog contains a fairly complete documentation of my figure drawing process from December 2008 to October 2015, which comprises some 10,000 studies.
Since then, I'm now posting most of the current studies I like on my Tumblr.
Newer entries on here are more complete sets of studies of volunteer or new models' work, or unusual drawing sessions, plus the occasional drawing experiments that intrigue me.

Lots to dig through here, and if you want to make a donation (lower-right,)  I'd love to bring in people to make images of bodies that would expand the spectrum of young, thin, female and light coloured bodies. Which seems to mostly be what's available via existing open drawing sessions these days.
