Sleeping female nude, charcoal and wash drawing

Sketch of a sleeping female nude, in charcoal and pastel with a loose wash, on Stonehenge paper. I had got to life class and, in a hurry, forgot my materials! Someone loaned me a stick of charcoal and pastel, and I borrowed the nail brush from the toilet, and…did probably the loosest drawing I had ever done!

    Thanks hatefueled! It’s one of my favourites, and actually came about when I turned up to life drawing with no materials, and therefore no expectations! Borrowed a pastel and charcoal from someone, and a nailbrush from the toilet! cheers, Roz

    the wash compliments the linework beautifully. To my eye this is a perfect balance of detail and relaxed freshness. Congratulations. Tony.
