Drawing female form is harder in my opinion, because there are a lot of curves and naturally, one wants to round everything up. In this drawing, I feel like several sharp angles would completely change the perception of form. Overall, it’s a decent life gesture, and a more complete work can be based on it.

Depicted in this charcoal drawing on toned gray paper is a female model sitting on the tall stool. Her body is slightly turned to the left, but facing the viewer. She’s looking to the left with facial features indicated on her head, but not defined. Her left arm is resting across her body on her right leg. Her feet are up on the crossbar of a stool and rest on different level.

Hi! My name is Oksana Ossipov, and I’m a visual artist and photographer. I was born in Ukraine and currently reside in the area of Dallas, Texas. My formal education includes a BFA in Digital Media Art from San Jose State University. After moving to Texas, I started to focus on my fine art skills and figurative art in particular. I studied for 5 years under Michael Mentler at the Society of Figurative Arts. Through my life, I’ve also acquired a multitude of skills that include web development, sculpting, photography, art studio and business management, and baking awesome blueberry scones! I’ve been trying to fully devote myself to the art over the past few years. I’m trying to learn and practice as much as I can. However, the workshop, class, and art supply costs present a certain financial challenge. If you like my work and want to support me, I would truly appreciate it! I have a shop full of artworks and creations, but even just sharing my art or social media pages would help a lot. Thank you so much!
