Scars
pastel
45.7 x 25.4 cm (18" x 10")

This drawing doesn't look quite right to me, but I'm not sure why. When you are away from the model it's difficult to decide if a drawing is wrong. The pose was a little awkward, with the model was sitting slightly forward, rather than resting on the back of the chair. This adds to difficult of knowing whether the drawing is off. All in all, it seems best to take the drawing for what it is, and get on to the next one.

Scars refers to the six white lines on the model's torso. I asked the model how they were done. She said with a branding iron. I didn't ask her why she had had them done. The next time I see her, I will.
