Life Drawing, by Kim Blair

Lips
(7.5 x 7.5)
drawing pencil on craft paper

When I study the model's lips during a drawing session I love to get lost in the subtle nuances of tone that ultimately describe the shape of each section.  Sculpted plains of light and shade connect creating a recognizable image... a pair of lips.

I enjoy drawing lips more than the rest of the face, although eyes are a close second.

These particular lips belong to a male model.
