Figure Study from 2008 - Luba Shumeyko

I used to do these studies a lot more when I first started drawing and actively attempting to improve as an artist. This drawing was entirely done in Photoshop. The original reference photo was NSFW, recently (2025) retouched to make it more internet and general public friendly. The model is Luba Shumeyko and you can search for her on the interwebs and find lots of cool shots. Besides the fact she is beautiful, there's something charming in the way she poses for a lot of her shoots, and the lighting used often appears to be very friendly for artists like me who are struggling to better understand the shape of the body and the anatomy.

I ended up referencing her figure and posing in other artowrks such as THIS one.

Lust and Gluttony

This is a pencil drawing from 2008, and what I consider one of my most iconic artowrks from an era that featured some really cool art. I'm not really sure I have that same creativity in me anymore as I had during the first decade of this century. It is a goal of mine to redo this artwork and give it the justice it deserves since I have improved quite a bit since then, despite losing all creativity!

Drawing was done in 2008, but to this day it's still one of my favorites.
