Back to the studio in 1975, a circle of artists surrounds the life drawing model draped over the sofa. There were always around seven of us, and that number means that some of us didn't get the best view. This time it was me and you can see that the model is in what might be called "strong perspective," that is, the top of her head was facing me. It's a difficult drawing assignment for sure and I couldn't get the full body into the sketchbook, so I drew her feet separately (at bottom). I didn't draw her face because of the usual time constraints. It's still an interesting drawing despite the distortion of the position. This would be called "putting life in perspective."
Pencil on sketchbook page, about 5" x 8", 1975.
