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.

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.
