Lady with Antenna Drawing

Charcoal drawing of a female figure with insect antenna on her head. She's sitting on a pillow on an art bench, and her left arm is petting a bear-like creature. Woman's right leg is bent in the knee and placed on the bench in front of her. Her right arm is on her right knee.

Sometimes, life drawing sessions evoke strange images. Like this lady with antenna drawing. I’m not entirely sure why it came about, the model definitely did not have anything like that on her head. But it felt right, so it appeared on paper. The same goes for the little bear-like creature to her side. It wasn’t really there, but it truly wanted to be! I think I might have been thinking of a very well fed capybara at the time, but it turned into bear shape. Anyway, here’s an example of imaginative gesture drawing.

I used soft charcoal on paper, and it probably took me around 20 minutes. I see a number of mistakes in the figure, but I like the idea of this lady with antenna drawing.
