Some ongoing work

I made the colourful swirly painting at the front immediately after I found out that I had got an interview for a job I really want. I was so excited! Some work to be done on all three. This is the swirly one:

A life drawing

A drawing I did last week.
I applied lots of graphite pencil to the paper and then mostly made the image using a rubber.
It's very liberating after using pencils.
It all went well apart from the hand/claw! I had to correct it as it had gone awry but at that point the model just couldn't keep her hand still. A legitimate excuse.
