This is beautifully drawn Alan, reminiscent of a Michelangelo or Da Vinci dare I say!?

This is such a delicate, beautifully drawn study, Alan, really lovely.

Great, delicate and tasteful study, superb drawing.

Gunrun, thank you for providing the key to your gallery of delightful figure studies.

This is superbly drawn Alan, some lovely shadow work on the head particularly.

Great drawing Alan . Nice to see the , dare I say it, the old fashioned shading techniques. Love it.

Well, Alan, you&#39;ve done it again! Beautiful in every way and the overlaid washes and depiction of light are lovely.

Just been for a look on your gallery Alan, and it is stunning in every way, you are so talented. This is the best selection of life drawings that I have seen, a great privilege to view them.

Great piece Alan, superb work.

Thank you Roland, I appreciate your nice comment.

Beautiful work Alan, lovely pose very nicely drawn.

Peter, thank you. Your portrait was excellent. Regards , Alan.

excellent confident drawing, impeccable proportions and knowledge of anatomy stand out; a lot of taste; I have an impression it was touched by brush as well. May I ask you what is the size of the drawing and how long it took you to finish it as well as what paper it is on?

Dmitry sorry not to have responded earlier, but I have just seen your query! The drawing was done with 3 watercolour pencils— a brown, a blue and a black—and parts of the drawing over-washed with clean water. The paper was 140 lb cartridge and the size 56x38 cm. This drawing, like all of my work whether drawing or painting, was completed at a single life class session. Regards, Alan.
