The model looked like she was gazing at the clouds when she took this pose. I couldn't quite capture the look of ease the model had, but I was thrilled that I went for it all because it turned out to be very difficult to draw a face from this angle. I like how her hand turned out too.
wow, i love this drawing, i think what makes it stand out is the small use of color. i usually create with fabric which is so bold and filled with lots of color and bold prints so the softness of a simple lined drawing with some added color is in a way shockingly powerful. tara
My name is Anne Woods and I miss making art. I drew this self-portrait when drawing came to me as naturally as walking and dancing and breathing. This blog is an attempt to return to that place, and to see what might emerge from art making as a daily practice.

Thank you Tara! I agree, I'm learning so much these days about how powerful subtlety can be.
