After motorcycling I really enjoy figure drawing. I supose there is a similar sensuousness about both pursuits. Curves, bends, flowing lines and graceful sweeps. Ever since I can remember I have doodled my way around bodies with a brush or a pencil and it remains an abiding fascination. I particularly like the effect of single points of light, the shadows and highlights that this creates, what you see is defined by what you don't see. Chiaroscuro - light and dark - it allows the mind to embellish the image, to imagine more than meets the eye. It doesn't simply reflect one-dimensional reproduction. So here are a few pictures that I've done recently.
