(mostly nude) Drawings by Mikhail Mokeyev

Here are some drawings I made in 2005. They are mostly done with charcoal or charcoal pencil with occasional pen and water colors. I never drew people before and never took any classes - I guess it all came naturally. The only "training" I had was looking at drawings by Dale Pesmen so I have to thank her too! I would also like to thank Michael Wasserman, Tania Fel and Ivan Trava for their comments, encouragement and good company!
Majority of the drawing sessions took place at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and some at Palette and Chisel. There are a few still-lives that were done elsewhere and if you see fully clothed people - that means that the (nude) model was late. FYI: The name of the file is the date of the session. Comments or questions? - Feel free to email me mokeyev@yahoo.com
