The female form

Comments by the artist

This type of pose can be very difficult, most of the drawing time is spent working out where everything is.

I don't think I quite captured the perspective, her head and arm should have been slightly smaller. But apart from that I'm quite happy with this one. Both of her hands look nice and relaxed too.
