Absence II

Spring 2020, Soft Pastels on Paper, Adobe Photoshop

This is a continued exploration of sexuality and the necessity of organs for life. It focuses more heavily than the first on the serenity of freedom from physical burdens. The figure is a self portait drawn from life from a full-length mirror, while I created a reference for the background using 3D modeling in Autodesk Maya and finished the image using Photoshop painting.
