Figure drawing 1

These are some old figure drawings that I actually have digital copies of. Most of them are sitting on pads somewhere or rolled up in mailing tubes.

They've always been something I enjoy doing for fun as well. The idea I have is that by the time I am 50 I would like the option to paint realistically full time. It is one of the hardest things I've learned but one of the most enjoyable.

While photographs are amazing. Something about realistic paintings are way more true to life and experience. Google Jeremy Lipking, Ryan Wurmser, William Bougereau, and Richard Schmid and you will see what I mean.
