fortunate the artists of the old art academies and ateliers, drawing and painting from a live model makes such a difference: in working but also results.
These days there is an abundance of photography online, mostly coming from the pornographic corner.
I usually make a (photoshop) collage from body parts, from various photos. But the lighting doesnt match, the colors dont match. Still, as I dislike working purely from imagination, I need a subject which is somehow based on a live model(s).
Still, at times I like drawing from vintage photographs that the early 1900s artists took of their studios, where a model was posing.
This is the case of this drawing. I don't know who the model was or who took the photo. The pose is very classical, the subjects had to be conducive to creating Academic works. Luckily, at least that pressure of rules and "morales" has gone.
