I love that you are not glamorizing your nudes, and you are doing a great job of highlighting the chroma shifts within your flesh-tones. I would love to see more like your life drawings. Your work has a very fine-art feel to it, don't let that stop you from improving your anatomy an structure.

There's a kind of awkwardness (maybe not the best word) to your nudes that is refreshing to see. Even though some of the images have got some weird looking anatomy, there's a lot of character in them that makes me forget those errors. Perhaps a better way to put it is that your errors feel more like "errors", if you know what I mean.

Let's see more!
