I haven’t done much figure drawing lately and I’m rusty to say the least but I did really fun photo-shoot on the weekend and it’s got me inspired! I had an opportunity to work with a young designer photographing her collection of lingerie pieces. The photo-shoot involved faux fur, champagne and a cigar but more on that when I post some pictures. The models were amazing to work with and the designer had a lot of fun creating a mix of lingerie some of which included faux fur elements. (It gets cold in Canada, I think this might be the lingerie of the season) A little sneak peek from the shoot via my sketchbook. Just a warm up sketch.

draw and shoot 
I tend to work in fits and starts, sometimes drawing, sometimes crafting, etc. It’s good to work in some other activities, still creative, I think it helps keep me thinking and learning. Very nice sketch, I like the ethereal quality you captured.
Thank you, I was looking at all your amazing pieces last night.They are really beautiful. My Dad was a blacksmith (farrier to be exact) so I appreciate the work and craftsmanship that goes into it.
yah you should sketch more. Like the details on the knees and right neck line. Lots of holiday smiles to you and your gang….
Thank you Al. I definitely need some practice, the model doesn’t really look like that at all. 🙂
Glad to see you are off the crutches! Yay.
This has a kind of hard-to-place 1940s feel to it…somehow it seems classic. Although the knickers aren’t 40s style at all…I think it’s the model’s hair and face, she looks so elegant.
She does have kind of a 40’s look to her in real life with her hair all up, although I have not captured what she really looks like at all.
Karen – I didn’t know you could sketch! Thanks for sharing your work. Can can’t you do?? :)))
I love it !
This is a wonderful drawing, Karen. And hope fun to do a photo shoot like that! Can’t wait to see the images. 🙂
This is gorgeous!
Thank you Scott! 🙂
wow – great sketch!
