I thought I would start participating more here and commit myself to posting a drawing a week. This first one is done in conte and white chalk of a buff-colored paper. The model's name is Tracy. Thanks for having a look here.

Thanks for the comments Merl1n. I had envisioned this sketchbook thread to be more for my life drawings, but I'll see about posting a range of the work I do.

They are all really good but in a couple you need to round out the area around the girls nipple a bit more. That would be the fifth one you posted.
