This is a sketch I drew back in the spring of 1997. I had it tucked away for quite some time. I'm sure you've noticed because of the wrinkling in the paper. It'sactually not finished yet. I'm deciding whether to
transfer it to a canvas and make a new composition by putting clothes on her, or making her a fairy. If you look closely I started drawing clothing on her, just to get an idea of which way I felt I needed to go with this. I still don't know what I want to do with this, but I've decided to post it anyway. The picture is done with graphite pencil on newsprint. If anyone has any ideas about what I should do with this, I'm open for suggestions.
Hello Lydia,
ReplyDeleteI like the woman's body as it is and would leave it like that. I certainly would not put any clothes on her. The body looks very good.
Hello Olivia, Thanks so much for your advise. I'm glad you like it.
ReplyDeleteYes, I like the sketch a lot, Lydia. Those soft body curves are lovely. It would be a shame to hide them under clothes.
ReplyDeleteI'll take your advise thanks so much.
ReplyDeleteyes i agree with olivia
ReplyDeletehave a nice day
I like the girl's body standing there and thinking what shoud she wear.....Maybe now she gets some ideas to dress or just decides to make some changes....whatever, I can feel you....
ReplyDeleteKMF- Thank you for your stopping by my blog and commenting. I will have to cisit yours too.
ReplyDeleteTai-Lien- It's strange how I've always felt a need to change this drawing. I don't know why this is. Other people's input is really helping me to decide. Thank You
I like the picture just the way it is. Wrinkles and all. Mat it and frame and put it on a wall. This a part of you a part of your soul. Put somewhere where others can enjoy your creativity

Dave- Thanks so much for your advise. I never considered putting it in a frame amd hanging it. Now this is something I just may do.
ReplyDeleteOsama- Thank you so much for the kind complement. I'm so happy to get your advise on which way I should go with this. I know now I'm heading towards leaving it alone and hanging it on the wall.
Luxie- Thank you! I really think you may me right about this drawing being a part of my inner essence. Sometimes I have to really look into some of my work to spot things out about inner self.
I find it interesting just as it is.
ReplyDeleteHello Oswegan, Thank you for your advise. It looks to me as if I'll be keeping this piece the way it is.
ReplyDeleteYou are so talented, Lydia! I love the sketch as a nude!
