Life-drawing August 2025

Yesterday I did my first life-drawing session since March this year.

After a six-month break I felt I was a bit rusty at first, but it started to come back to me, and with regular life-drawing sessions planned then I should be more confident again soon.

I have some plans for several new multi-figure drawings over the next year-or-so, and this initial life-drawing session with a new Hastings-based life-model kick-starts those plans nicely.
