    Life Drawing #72 – Asim

    Cane but fully abled: this session was all about ink and mostly dip pens and the model brought a cane to pose with. It was a weird sort of coincidence as I’d been using a walking cane the day before because I’d hurt my back (in fact I wasn’t sure if I’d make the session).…
