Vanitas 18 update (05-22-2019)
I started working on Vanitas 18 a few weeks ago. I am hoping I can finish it in early June. This is a relatively larger graphite drawing of 17" x 25". So far I am happy about the way this is going.

I had to teach a photo workshop to high school students for a week and my work on this piece slowed down a bit. Now I am back on track. I have completed the pomegranate and I am in the middle of rendering the fabric. Naturally it is one of the most time-consuming subjects to render. I am not completely happy about the way the left half of the fabric under her lower body looks in my original reference photo. So I am going to collage that part of the fabric from a different shot taken during the same photo session. The pictures below are just quick snapshots. I am going to do proper photographing of the piece once it is finished, which I estimate will be sometime next week.
