The uncensored version of the one-shoulder dress. I didn't want to label the whole post for "artistic nudity" when only one photo had any. So I did it this way. Let me know if this works!

@zoecwest.bsky.social July 2026. Peach dress is an original, #HandmadeByMrKrist. Red skirt is just a little something I put together. I did not create the grape leaf, but I did pick it. The final suit Zoe provided herself. 😉 #FigureInNature #NudeInNature #TravelingModel #DanceInTheWind #SkyClad

Six hour figure drawing session via Zoom, organized by @silhouette_and_shadow Six models, second three: Dane Halo @danehalo.bsky.social, Lilian D.Mello @lilian.dmello, Diana Jean @djartmodel #figuredrawing #figuremodel #artnude

figure drawing: pencil shading on plain white paper. Female model with long hair, wearing a sheer gown, seated on a stool.
Dane Halo for an hour pose (with one break; about 50 minutes of drawing)
The lighting was sublime. Her sheer gown was beautiful. I am often intimidated by fabric, but I cleverly chose to lock down her sleeves in the first half leaving the skirt part loose. Then in the second half, after she stood up and took a break to stretch and sat back down and all the fabric was different: then the top half was already done, and I could draw in the folds of the skirt in one go. In the past I have started on fabric, then they take a break and it's different and I have to somehow reconcile the change and it looks weird.
Once again I left the feet for last, and they remain unfinished. Maybe I'll be brave enough to go back and finish them later; maybe they'll stay as they are.
Instagram @ theredbomb_model

figure drawing: bold pencil lines on white paper. Female figure reclined. Foreshortened, with her face nearest the viewer.
Lilian for 10 minutes.
I'm pleased with this one. She was looking right into the camera- right at us the artists on our Zoom screens, with a very pleasant expression, looking comfortable. (I threw in a little Hirschfeld-esque curl for her pinky finger!)

figure drawing: pencil lines on white paper. Pregnant model leaning against a pillar. Also a cat.
10 minutes with Diana Jean. Very pregnant! She was in a charming room- some wooden pillars, a nice bookcase with neat stuff on it. Her cat wandered through the shot at one point. She didn't hold still for very long, but I used a little creative license to include her here. This was Diana's first pose.

Six hour figure drawing session via Zoom, organized by @silhouette_and_shadow Models: Olive @smthingaboutolive.bsky.social, Titania @titaniaartmodel, Whitney Masters @whitney-masters.bsky.social ... #figuredrawing #figuremodel

pencil drawing on plain white paper. A slim female model sitting on a stool.
20 minutes with Olive.
I'm pleased with what I captured, here. Even the unfinished feet feel natural; feet can be tricky, but I had a good start with these. The upper portion that I did have time to refine, I'm fairly happy with.
Instagram @ somethingabout.olive

figure drawing: black pencil and white pencil on tan-toned paper. A female model reclined in an elaborate pose.
This was an hour pose with Titania, with a break in the middle; about 45 minutes of total drawing time. I like using toned paper, then using shadow and highlight. Her lighting setup was nice, and her skin was luminous. A tricky pose to hold for an hour!! But she did!
Instagram @ titaniaartmodel

figure drawing in an abstract style: simple curved arcs drawn in pencil on white paper. A female model reclined, seen from above.
Whitney Masters for 10 minutes.
Her poses were captured by a camera from above: a very different perspective that's almost impossible to do in person. They were all very fluid and smooth; I captured them in a different style from almost everyone else I drew this session.
The simplicity doesn't feel like it took 10 minutes, but I tried to define very carefully how each line fit into the pose.
The head was the only line I allowed myself to change direction from the enxk into the head; all the others are simple arcs.
I intrigued myself with her left shoulder. The line up from her hip extends into her bicep, and the line from her right arm extends through her collarbones to an unfinished left shoulder. I thought about whether to include the left deltoid or not and decided to leave it out. Successful, or unsuccessful, do you think?
Instagram @ Whitney.masters

figure drawing: pencil on white paper. Female reclined with her left hand on her chest, seen from above.
Whitney Masters for 25 minutes.
Her poses were captured by a camera from above: a very different perspective that's almost impossible to do in person. For the longer pose I abandoned my "arcs-only" style and went for more traditional line work. Her hair is slightly stylized (something I often do). I'm happy with the top bit I finished. Her poor little feet got a bit lost at the edge of the paper; more time and I probably would have erased and re-done that bit.
