Legs and Bodies: August 15th to August 24th, 2021

Hi, everyone! This week we’ve got legs and bodies, bodies, bodies. I’ve said it before, but I don’t really like drawing faces that much, so focusing on legs and bodies has been super fun for me. Who needs a face when you got all that BODY?!

There are a lot of pieces from this series that I think are pretty cool. I don’t want to sound like a broken record, but I really love doing the “grid” skin texture with vibrant colors. It makes skin tones so much more fun for me. I’ve also started to include shading once again – something I hadn’t been doing for a while.

From this week’s share, I really love “I Love This One,” “All I See is Sound,” and especially “I’m in the Stars.” “I’m in the Stars” is a self-portrait and it had been quite a long time since I’d done a self-portrait. I’m really pleased with how it turned out.

What are your favorites from this week? Let me know! Contact me on Instagram or through the site. Check out last week’s post as well if you haven’t already.
