What a treat beyond treats to be able to draw the female form during one of its most glorious and transformative times!

Our lovely model-with-child Luna actually came in for three of my anatomy classes and I was sure to let my students know what a special, possibly once in a lifetime, opportunity this was. We all really enjoyed creating beautiful, soft, curvilinear works on those days.

This first one was when Luna was five months pregnant…

And these other three were when she was fully seven months along - wow!

I wish we could have Luna and her tiny miracle back again, but alas she has moved out of the state. I feel so fortunate to have had her come in and I really hope I am afforded such a special opportunity again one day!

Here are a few of my students’ drawings too. Some of these are from folks who have only had a few weeks of figure drawing practice.. aren’t they so skilled?!??
