Drawing the nude model is a way of keeping my eye and hand co-ordinated. For quite a few weeks (months) I have not been practising my skills as the demands of property maintenance have been demanding all  my energies. Recently, life drawing facilitated by Roy Ridsdale at Ruddocks store in Lincoln have resumed and was able to find the time to attend. This is one of the several charcoal sketches I made. As an added point of interest the sketches have been photographed and this particular image used to cut my teeth on the complexity of photo editing software by Serif.
