My figures are usually worked up from small sketches done from life, with an intermediary drawing to work out the shapes and shading.
The drawing was done with compressed charcoal (conte) on A2 Daler Rowney 200gsm Fine Grain HeavyWeight paper. Very much a test to see how my arms are working (more than usual) as Ive been having trouble with coordinating things recently.
I started off in fine art, by going to Wakefield School of Art and then St Martins in London to do Sculpture, I have spent most of my time (after going to Camberwell School of Art for a Graphics degree) doing graphic design, working through various sectors including publishing, sales promotion, marketing, and design consultancies, before starting my own company in 1995.

Superb work Paul !!
Paul Davenport replied:
Thank you Michel :-) was aiming to follow the other 'Balance' drawing... which was much more pushing the charcoal around with my fingers... but it didn't develop that way at all! Generally I just 'wing it' and see what happens :-)
