    An absolutely gorgeous study of the female body. Really well done Karen. Detail of the muscles and even the roughness in the feet are what makes this a fantastic drawing.

    Incredibly beautiful! My eye is really drawn to the spots of detail – the bottom of her foot, her ear, the folds on her neck and side…and they contrast so well with the smoothness of her bottom and thigh.

    Thank you so much

    The accuracy of the tonal range is what makes this so three dimensional and alluring. The contrast of the highlight on the thigh with the highlights on the upper body is beautifully realised. You are inspiring me to go back to life drawing classes! Wow.
