This is the first of two images that try and record the progress I have made during a five week life drawing class. As with all things artistic progress is a very wooly concept open to interpretation, personal taste and experience. The drawing session usually involved 3 or 4 drawings and this shows no 3 in each session. The drawing on the right is from the first week and one on the left is from the last and I think it is far to say there is a difference and I would say progress.

This is the most amazing series of fashion images I have seen. The most surreal aspect about them is that they were made in the 1940’s. Eat your heart out Rankin!
