I love shoulders...the power...all that they suggest of a male figure..the strength...capability...doesn't hurt when they are swimmers either.
This drawing shows a level of understanding that popped onto the paper. I didn't realize how beautifully the neck can fit into the shoulders in pencil!
Here is a drawing on watercolor paper toned with watercolor...and then drawn with conte. I had forgotten mine, but a wonderful artist in our group gaveme access to his tool box and I wore his conte stick out. This one is important to me because of the feeling I got while doing it. I was able to tap into the flow and the freedom and sense of abandon while I was drawing that was new and different. I've been in the "zone" before...this was new. Who needs drugs??? I may keep this one...
This is a back study that worked for me on many levels. I love doing the back...all my models know this and ask why...I don't have an answer yet...
