Hahaha. Long time no see, JAG...where have you been?

Beautiful work, Nemesis!!!

You and MoonArtist both like to draw in a very artistic way.
Very sweet!

I like this.

I like this one too. Very perfect. Nice boobs, long neck & a flat tummy. Everything I wish I had 😄 Nem, why do artists always draw fit bodies? Are rolls of fat too hard to sketch or something 🙂?

I've always liked the old paintings of half naked women with fuller bodies. Remember those? IDK what they are called, though.

i mostly draw parts of the face....i noticed. a nose/mouth in profile...an ear, an eye stuff like that, or a figure without a head lol.

It sounds like you are into details. Something draws you to each feature of the face as if you are
searching the beauty in each of those features. What do the eyes see? The ears hear? and the lips say, how would they taste? What does the nose say about the person? It provokes deeper thoughts. What is that person like on the inside—

Your figure drawing's posture speaks to me. It's painfully pleading to be held and stroked, inviting the prelude of being enraptured and intertwined in the most sensuous and erotic of love's embrace which promises explosive intensity wherein oceans and earthquakes are simultaneously conjured up. Fissures have broken and dams have burst
and the world has been washed away and all that remains are the voids of the misty stars in the heavens which have been taken by nature's unforgiving black hole.

(You may have drawn a woman merely stretching as when waking up, but sometimes, such moments of artistic observation can be agonizingly stimulating)

I've had artistic moments like that, though not with humans or animals and obviously in a different way via different subject matter. Perhaps through symbolic form.

Baroque, Roccoco?
There was a time in art history when the "full" woman were, indeed, pleasing to look upon as evidenced by the examples produced. - I am thinking Baroque.

Watercup, pardon me, but what I have seen of your pics, you, yourself, do have pleasing lines.
I sincerely mean that.

^^^ PS, watercup, I also mean what I said "respectfully".
That is You look lovely just as you are. I sincerely and respectfully mean that.

Also..... Generally speaking, in my mind, it's the inside that counts as the outside will
either fade with time or be damaged along the way. For me, a woman's true beauty lies within
her heart. Sad that modern times have taught women to go through every thing to "beautify" their outer selves
without regard to their inner selves. Unfortunately, such is seemingly a hard thing for the superficial or
the misguided woman to hear.
That said, her heart is like unto a goodly pearl, she that takes her time to beautify her heart is as
the clam that produced that pearl of great and priceless worth.

Honey, I'm a woman, it's never enough until I rock a 12 pack of rock hard abs.

Dont take me too seriously lol. I like to put myself down for fun. I do think very highly of myself, truth be told. I think I'm the only person that can turn herself on. I do this booty shake thing infront of my mirror & I honestly get turned on. LMAO. Truth. Swear to God.

Those are lovely drawings Nem 🙂

i don't have a favourite era per se - but i do enjoy realistic paintings - mannerism.

you must look back to the times these people lived in - no art supply shops as we know these days, no paint brush, no photoshop etc - they mixed their own colours, made their own canvas, developed their own style s and techniques (of course learning and based on generations prior). whenever i enter a museum i am struck in awe. true masters.

You and I have the same tastes.

What a lot of people in America (perhaps the rest of the world) don't know is that during 16-19th centuries,
art wasn't just a pretty picture - they either had a story or a moral to tell.
In those days, people were not as commonly literate as they are today. However, what they could read, were pictures.
Symbolism in objects were the words.

thanks SL,

yes, the rubenesque figur. regarded as highly erotic. as it showed off one's wealth too. even the antique gods and goddesses were depicted like that. but note, even whilst the figures were quite massive the women still usually had smaller breasts.

unlike today, tanned skin and and size zero were a sure sign of hard labour and poverty.

Yes very erotic i feel. Interesting about the proportion of the bodies! We seemed to have devolved to a trend of skinny legs and butts and huge (plastic) breasts...how odd

Devolution.

It's always interesting to see how people draw or construct the eye. Then observing the clean freaks to the dirty smudgers (the ones who end up wearing a moustache).

WC, if you're into understanding art and it's symbolism and their epoches etc - this is a book i would highly recommend:

http://www.amazon.de/Masterpieces-European-Painting-Christiane-Stukenbrock/dp/3848002159/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1404810466&sr=8-1&keywords=1000+masterpieces+of+european+painting

it's a treatsie of the most influential masters and paintings from 1300 - 1835.

I'll check the book, thanks. I did also look up Rubens but its not the work I've seen. I'll have to go back to the library to see whose work I saw in the book I borrowed last time. Its similar to Rubens but has a cleaner & more distinct look. It was beautiful & sexy.

Love the sketches, Nem! You caught the lines in a sweet and emotive way.

Eleventh, artable walls...that's pure genius 😄
