one line draw

Ok, maybe not exactly ONE line only, but you got the idea.
My ol’ friend Corinne challenged me to draw with a unique line, and here are my tentaives.
Using an ol’ fashioned quill and oxblood ink (gift of my friend Mehrdad), here are some slow-mo poses from another ol’ friend, the model Mei Tung.

A few studies of V., various medias.

She told me she enjoyed being a model this 2nd time, as she was “nervous” the first time.

It seems so obvious now, I feel kinda stupid for not realizing this. -_-‘

Undressing

If I could get rid of the lines, I could reach a decent level of semi-abstraction… but I LOVE drawing the lines -_-‘

No WordPress, you were supposed to upload them in the reverse order, well… I guess it’s not a big deal anyway.

It’s like a countdown from long to short poses, when the model gets less and less tired.
