Amy: An online figure drawing session

Lydia Cecil

This week, Lydia Cecil draws model Amy in a figure session centred on capturing the large, rounded forms of the body by starting with soft, subtle edges. Working in charcoal on toned paper, she builds the figure from broad shapes before refining structure—helping develop a sensitive and solid foundation to the pose.
