For a pre-Halloween figure drawing session, the model posed with a skeleton as if they were on a date, making small talk on the sofa. While the model and the rest of the group took a lunch break I continued drawing the skeleton, who needed no break and continued posing nicely.
I think we had about an hour and a half on this pose with the model, plus my time with Mr. Skeleton. I wish I’d sketched in a bit of the background so that their funky sofa wasn’t just floating in space.

Unusual drawing, well done. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Sharon for commenting. I’m curious if you were referring to the drawing or the pose or both as “unusual.” And of course you’re right–it’s pretty uncommon to find a naked lady hanging out with a slightly lecherous skeleton!

Thanks Nickie! It was great fun and educational to get to see the skeleton in an actual pose, not just hanging from his head.

It was wonderful to have the skeleton in a pose, too, not just hanging around by the head. Doesn’t he look lecherous! LOL.
