Just got back from a week in the Carolinas visiting my family. Today is a really big day for me for reasons that I will get into in another post… but last night it was nice just to get back into my routine. A good night sleep well snuggled by kitties (who have forgiven me already and did not sleep on my head last night) followed by a day of getting cleaned up and back into routine.
So back to Figure Drawing last night. Model is Nia and I have drawn her at least once before. Good to see her again as well as all the lovely humans that I got to visit with last night.
As always images are in reverse order of how I drew them.
Nia is on Instagram as @babe_im_onfire
20 minutes – last post of the night and I never feel like I am working efficiently on the last one.35 minutes. Nia said on her Instagram today that she forgot to put a sheet down and got mild rug burn from this pose. 20 minutes. in going through the video I feel like I lost her nose at some point in the process… it was there and then it wasn’t. oops. 15 minutes10 minutes10 minutes each5 minutes each. one of the other artists remarked that they think 5 minutes is the sweet spot. Gestural and expressive without time to overwork. 1 minute poses30 second warm ups.

Lots to do to get ready for today. Hopefully be able to update you soon!!!
I am a female tattoo artist and shop owner. I believe in love and creation above fear and destruction. I am a passionate person and respect and admire that in others regardless of where their passion lies.
But at the end of the day, all I want to do is add a little beauty to the world and try to be a blessing in the lives of those around me.
No matter who you are or how you have arrived you are welcome here.
There is no rhyme or reason to the things that I post here - but they are here to share. I believe that all things happen for a reason and while things may not always go the way that I want them to... they do go the way that they are supposed to go.
I hope that rather you are here once or often that you find what you are looking for and that in all things you will find the love that you deserve.
