Buggar, I must have disturbed the trolls nest again

Hmmmmm, by all the returned emails it looks like some hackers are trawling through my old yahoo account contact addressed and somehow impersonating me on gmail. So if you get a group email from me, Its unlikely to be me and don't click on the link in the emails

SO  STAY  SAFE  FOLKS

Hello ..again

It has been a long long time since I posted it here. Too long! I'd moved to pastels some time ago and loved them as a rapid medium, you sketch and paint at the same time but... I could never get the detail I wanted and I always seemed to struggle trying to finish them, and instead I would ruin them with overworking. So my pastels where put aside for a while. Recently I have been inspired to return to the 2 minute torso idea, ok this is more of a gesture sketch (taking a fair bit longer than 2 minutes) and figured if I started smaller and didin't get fixated with the gradient of skin tone and detail, and more importantly stopped before it was to late I might have a chance of doing better and I must admit I am charmed by my fist attempt at a 10 minute toso pose and a shy first time model.
