I have found this photograph of a well round woman on the Internet - this is actually harder than you might think as most nude women tend to be undertaking degrading behaviour. Anyway, I am fascinated by this woman and I am not sure why. The more I draw her the more I realise that I am attracted by her curves and these are leading to a more abstract result. In This drawing I have used only curved lines. This was a deliberate decision on my part and for a state I couldn't understand why. Then I realised that it may well have been the curves that attracted me. Everything is curved. I have called this series of drawings 'modern women'. I suspect this is a reaction of the depiction of women you see on TV, film and all other media. There seems to be a rejection of what is real in favour of some strange emaciated figure that has no real relationship to the modern world. This is hardly radical, I know, but you can't help what motivates you.
