  1. Very sexy, and quite nice. Like this sketch. From life of a photo?

  2. Thank you. I don't have life sketch groups around here so I rely on various photos on the net for nudes.

  3. I always photograph my pictures, since I do not have a scanner (yet). I am quite content with this method, though nothing substitutes natural light and sight.

  4. @Alexander Yes, the photo of pastels or watercolours look always better. The bright light of the scanner make those look unreal. But I have just the scanner.
