The Naked Truth II

Second night of our figure drawing.

This week I had issues because we (the class) are on a first name basis with The Model. Last week I had no trouble drawing everything, except her face. My psychoanalysis of this is that by drawing her face I am making her a real person. This week, now that we are calling her by name, I had trouble even looking at her - for fear of meeting her eye. My psychoanalysis of this is that in my mind if I looked at her she would suddenly realize she WAS NAKED in front of 25 people and be embarrassed. (Ridiculous, I know).

I still managed to do the required drawings (and well done, if I do say so myself) but I had a slow start. Only one more naked night to go and then we are back to the apple. (Whew).
