These last couple of weeks have been challenging so finding the time for drawing was not only difficult but absolutely necessary.
I did a couple of figure drawings but both my camera and scanner are too inadequate to capture some of the large gesture drawings that I did. Oh well. I did manage to photograph the long study I did. The photo is of the full figure and the detail image is a scan of the drawing.

Scan of the full figure study - I need a bigger scanner to capture some of the larger drawings I make.
Quick charcoal sketch of Siwa. We had a rough night last night: Siwa's mouth bled for almost 30 minutes until a lemon-sized part of her tumor dislodged. It was nasty but she feels better today. She ate all her food & had a full tail wag on our short little walk.
Back to doodling - I don't know what's up with her hair - it just wanted to get big!

I just love your full figure study. It’ great! You captured the attitude with the minimum of sketching lines to make it precise and lively; beautiful shading too.

You are having a rough time – I do hope life will soon be improving for you. Sad to see your dog so ill but glad that she is a little more comfortable now.
I love the figure sketches.

Beautiful figure drawing. So much emotion in your drawings, and I really hope that Siwa will get better soon
I’ll pray for that.

Soooo sorry to hear about you and your great companions health issues. I know it worries me endlessly when my 2 have a cold or seem out of sorts!
But, I have to say you’ve done a wonderful job on your life drawings!

Poor Siwa! Love the drawing though – very tender. And the two figure drawings on top are so well done!
