Check out this gorgeously-done process-driven sketch of a woman in flash. Do not miss. Safe for work unless your boss is a prig.

While you were learning about sports from your dad, my dad was teaching me how to sketch. I am an okay artist with a pencil (or chalk) as a couple of you know. Some of you don’t understand how its done. There are loads of things to consider such as gravity, shape, light, dark, perspective, the underlying physiology, and of course the way flesh lies, stands, and moves, especially on the nude.

This is a fascinating exploration of process in the sketch of a reclining nude woman, who starts life as tabula rasa, moves through the skeletal system, and then into the nude, and finally gets her kit on.
