This is another moldy oldy with some sentimental value. The original sketches and reference photos for this illustration came from a life drawing class I took in college. The first day of the class we were asked to write down what we considered to be the single most difficult thing to draw. I had an older friend who had taken the class the semester before and he had tipped me off that whatever you wrote down would become the subject matter for a mammoth drawing assignment that would comprise a third of your grade. Ever the sneaky one, I of course listed "Feet."
2 weeks later I was paired with an increadibly lovely classmate who had picked "hands" so we became each others models. The drawings turned out really great and I got an "A" in the class. I also wound up dating the model.
One day while searching through my reference file I found the sketches and photos from the assignment and they became the inspiration for this illustration.
The painting is done in ink washes and pastel.
Enjoy
