These are a few of my favorites. I am quite happy with them because they meet my two criteria for the success of my own work. There are only these two:

Nude reclining against left elbow, graphite with white chalk highlight on buff paper

Nude reclining on stomach on couch with left foot raised, graphite with acrylic color

Nude seated on couch with left knee up and right leg extended; graphite, black conte and red crayon

I must enjoy the work.
It must be work that I would enjoy looking at, no matter who executed it.

Nude seated on feet, left elbow on couch back; graphite, black conte, red crayon, and chalk highlight on buff

Seated nude leaning to her right, head on forearm

​I can't speak for others, but for me these are high standards.

Nude on couch, blind contour; graphite

Seated nude, left foot on footstool; graphite and black conte on buff

I enjoy working directly from life. I enjoy working at a moderate pace. I enjoy making just a few corrections.

Nude on stool. I love drawings like this, but that's just me.

Now what was I about to do? Graphite

I enjoy looking at drawings that emphasize line. I enjoy looking at drawings with active, imperfect contours.

Nude reclining on rt side with hand across waist, graphite

Reclining nude in brown rectangle

Reclining nude holding ankles, graphite

I enjoy looking at drawings with at most just a suggestion of shading. I enjoy looking at drawings that show process.

Each of these measures 18 x 24". If you would like to own one, tell me which one and for $90 I'll put it into a mailing tube, pay your sales tax if applicable, and mail it to you. For each additional drawing in that tube, pay me $80.

This photography is not great. The paper is not discolored, but white, except for those noted to be on buff.
