I've recently started drawing again, for the first time in 12 years, and I am really, really enjoying it. They organised a series of life drawing sessions for us at work and I've been attending every week.

I drew this in our third session. The model had a very muscular body, quite man-like, which made her really interesting to draw. This was a 10 minute sketch, which clearly shows her muscular body - she had particularly broad shoulders and straight hips, which gave her a very masculine silhouette. I didn't want to waste time on the hands, face or cloth, instead focusing on defining the shadows on her torso.

Unfortunately I don't have a scanner at home, so this is a photo from my sketchbook. Paper, Daler Rowney soft tipped sanguine sketching pencils.
