Exercise on the mattress

More than 2 years I didn't touch a pencil, so

I stole and copied this drawing as an exercise.

Let's see what happens next.

When the model is perfect...

...the drawing is never good enough.

The Shirt (19)

New start ?

E This winter I destroyed my already crippled hand further, on the ice in Siberia. So I'll have to learn again. Starting with this very quiet angel.
D Im Winter habe ich meine immerhin schon kaputte Hand noch weiter zerstört, auf dem Eis in Sibirien. Also muss ich wieder üben. Erster Versuch: dieses sehr stille Mädchen.

the Singlet (17)

Another "Back-side".
Like the fifties/sixties singles (that's before-CD etc. children)  I'll have to decide about A or B-
side.

That's all, folks!

Last sheet of paper.

the Shirt (7)

More often than not I just want to stop after the graphite-phase. In my heart (and character alas...) I'm very much a black and white man. Not good with colours.

the Shirt (6)

Intermezzo maschile

Denn jetzt ist eine kurze Pause notwendig.

I'll take a short break now.

the Shirt (5) howitsdun

I want to draw as little as possible, emphasize the shirt, and by doing so suggest as much naked skin as possible.
In the face, I said that before, I think the mouth is the mirror of the soul (not the eyes).
