Humans, being.
About Me
- Thomas Hendry
- Toronto, ON, Canada
- I'm a Toronto- based artist. My focus is on the human form, primarily through drawing. I'm mostly posting work on Tumblr now(link below.) This blog remains a process-intensive diary of over 10,000 studies spanning more than 7 years. (More finished work of mine can be found as well on my Flickr account - there's a link for that below as well)

La première et la dernière figure me plaisent beaucoup... Avez-vous des modèles vivants ?
A bientôt
Toutes les dessins ici sont faites avec des modeles vivantes.
Il y a les temps en autres projets ou j'utilise les autres sources, comme photographie, par example, mais pas dans les dessins dans cet blog.
(apologies pour le Francais terrible!)
Merci beaucoup pour votre réponse et croyez-moi, votre français est excellent...
Je vous félicite encore une fois pour l'ensemble de votre travail que j'apprécie énormément, même si je ne laisse pas à chaque fois un petit commentaire... Mais je viens régulièrement voir et admirer vos croquis.
Bises
