Ink wash and charcoal on watercolor paper,
10.5 x 7.5 in.
As it was my first experience at a figure drawing studio, I was uncomfortable with the union of nudity and art. Each facet of creating this piece was new to me; I had never produced an ink drawing nor had I worked from a nude male model. What is more, I was given a restricted time limit of fifteen minutes. Upon completing the piece, I fully understood the elegance and tastefulness that can be achieved from nude life drawings. As I stepped out of my comfort zone, I explored this region of art that was unfamiliar to me.
