Illustration Friday 'Acrobat'

This week's Illustration Friday word is 'acrobat' and I had a lot of fun drawing this!
My life drawing group started back on friday and it was so lovely to be back and to see familiar faces from last term. We had a new model and it was her first time so for the first couple of drawings I had the chance to draw her robe...
She very gradually had more confidence and revealed a bit more...and then it was business as usual!
Mind you, I wouldn't pose clothed, let alone naked so I do admire life models and long may they continue! :)

Funnily enough I was watching a program about the nude in art just the other day and was thinking how brave someone would be to pose naked while someone paints or draws them. I certainly wouldn't have the courage. Great sketches.

i love this, your artwork always brings a smile to my face..so bright and cheerful:)and the not so wee bird looks rather pleased to be helping the wee lady to do her stuff :o)

great life drawing sketches too, i especially like the second one. i agree with you.. i could never get naked like this lol, but admire those that do.

I LOVE your acrobat and bird, everything about it - colour style - everything is fantastic! And your life drawings are so good; I wouldn't pose dressed or naked either but admire people who can.

Having done life drawing I too admire and am vry grateful for life models. Life drawing is very special and ..exhausting for me doing the drawing.
