Some figure drawings and some not-so-figure drawings....

Found a few more drawn tidbits on my hard drive. Mostly figure work with miscellaneous mixed in. These span over the last year or two. I'm back with a life drawing session that meets twice a month, so I'll have some newer stuff to post.



 A wee dog I saw on the street. Sidewalk, really.



A Fembot. Okay, it didn't start out as a Fembot but I was watching the "Fembots in Las Vegas" episodes of The Bionic Woman and it just happened.



My hand and I having a staring contest. Hand lost.



Guy I saw in a coffee shop. Looks drunk but he wasn't. Then again, how would I know if he was sober...?



I think I drew this from a photo of Amy Grant. Looks just like her, right? Minus all the junk bleeding through from the other side of the page....



Elephant and calf. Infamous in that I drew this as part of a Thai-focused set for friends from Thailand, but drew *African* elephants instead of the Asian variety actually found in Thailand.



An *actual* Asian elephant.



A junk off the coast of Thailand's Andaman Sea. Note, this is the Thailand coast - not the African coast. Also a gift for a Thai friend.



Common Rose Butterfly - native to Thailand. Now we begin see why the African Elephants stuck out like a sore thumb....



Life model Elizabeth. As I recall, she did not actually have one giant arm and one regular-sized arm....



Life model Andrea-figure study.



A figure study-profile.



More of the same, but of a person's torso. Obviously.



Giraffes, at the local zoo. The only damn animals at the zoo who moved slow enough for me to sketch.



Figure study.... Too bad I ran out of time, this was shaping up nicely.



Another one of my hand - drawn while it was napping.



Hillary - life model, not stepdaughter.



 Life model Jessica - her first time modeling and she never came back. Guess sitting naked in front of a crowd isn't for everybody.



Life model Kelly. One tall drink of water....



Potted plant in a local library. You take it where you can get it.



Lisa.



Liz.



Also Liz...



 The always popular crouching man pose.



Mindy.



Mindy again.



Little postcard I made and sent to my niece, Nook.



Some leaves from the park.



The pear - always a favorite for still life....



 5 minute sketch at a drawing session.



 Mr. White Rhino at the local zoo. Okay, I guess the giraffes weren't the only slow movers.



Tree in the park. Hear a dog bark. Then sing like a lark....



More library foliage.
