Life-drawing 27 January 2024
Image Description
A female-presenting nude figure is drawn with graphite pencil, drawn at a 45 degree angle to us. They are seated on the ground, their left elbow propped up on an unseen surface. In their right hand they hold a large broadsword, supported by their right knee (the sword is the life model’s own reproduction Nazgûl sword from the Lord of the Rings films).
They are seated with their right leg bent at the knee, foot resting flat on the floor, and their left leg also bent, but lying on its side against the floor. They have long black hair, cut into a fringe at the front, and a tattoo of multiple moon shapes above their navel.
