Art: Pencil drawings of male and female nudity figures

[dieastra]

Many years ago I attended a drawing course and we also did nude art. To not offend anyone I am posting only a teaser picture openly, if you want to see the complete pictures (three of a man and four of a woman, standing, lying, sitting...) click the LJ cut. Hope you like them! There are also some links with previous pictures at the bottom of this post. Enjoy!

ha! I'll have to check that out.

I don't like doing just feet or hands, but I could (and have) draw torsos all day long

I think in general I like to paint/draw objects (still lives) more than people.

In case I did not mention it, I work in an engineer's office, drawing plans for buildings. So while in a way this is also drawing (now done by computer of course but when I started it was with ink on paper) but there is a more technical accurate side to it, which agrees with me.

Even as a child, when doing coloring books, I NEVER went over the lines ;) I'm too accurate for that. For the same reason, I also enjoy paintings more with a clear picture, where I can recognize what it is about, and not too impressionistic and "modern". Although of course there is the exception of the rule.

We have a pretty famous painting gallery here in Dresden, this is the most famous picture in there: http://www.skd.museum/typo3temp/pics/dffb6a64ad.jpg

The angels on the bottom have become world famous but nobody knows where they are from originally ;)

Okay...so funny...when you said 'the angels at the bottom' after talking about straight lines I was like...how does a set of angels become famous'. Because in my head I read 'angles' not 'angels'. English is so confusing (yes, it's my first language and I still find it confusing).

LOL it happens!

But really, they are everywhere, on cups and such. Too bad our gallery does not get money every time they're used - they would be very rich ;)
