I did this piece at life drawing - which is different from life painting in that the poses are REALLY short and you have to work like a maniac to get anything decent down. Fortunately i emminently qualify for the maniac part. So I did this piece in about 25 minutes and then a couple of hours in the studio making bits up. I gave the model a lift home afterwards - she was French it seems and pretty cool. YOUNG. Damn.

I did about six but gave up on most of them. Another one is ok and will post when it is touched up. OK now i am thinking of the model again.

Of course, I ALWAYS maintain artistic integrity with regards to models. Well. I DO.
