toes

life_drawing_oct_25.jpg

The scan is not great. I have to scan the drawing in pieces because it's too big. If I feel like it tomorrow, I'll try and make a better one. I am only a step away from the models while drawing them, I think that shows in the drawing. Maybe I'll have to work at exaggerating that effect. Some time ago I proposed to all draw from one side of the room, and thus create some distance between us and the models. But the other people actually like to be this up close, mmm. I do get better and better at drawing toes, I have to give them that.

so.
you are always at the end near the toes?
and very near to the toes?
I might enjoy your perspective from the knees, for example...
but I suppose it doesn't matter -
I especially like the space between the small of his back and his shoulder.

Always is a big word. But the guy was laying flat on the floor, and I was a step away from his toes, with my eyes six feet above that. So it becomes bird's eye perspective without real overview. Does this make sense?

Hij heeft de dijen van een olympisch kampioen snelschaatsen.

Is het model van Nederlandse afkomst?

Die dijen zijn gewoon wat overdreven getekend, ik stond er echt met mijn neus bovenop. Hij heeft wel heel duidelijk afgetekende spieren, maar vlgns mij komen die uit de gym. En nee, NL geloof ik niet. Zo te zien een gewone angelsaksische Canadees. De modellen zijn trouwens met mij meestal de enige kaukazen in het gezelschap.
