Female nude study

I apologize for the time it's taken for me to post anything new. I have been keeping busy. I just haven't done anything that I cared to post because it was a lot of going down new avenues. I used the gridding process to get the proportions correct in this one. This is my first time using a grid. The reason I used it this time was because after doing painting from studies I would always tell myself "this would've turned out better if I spent more time in getting the initial sketch right.". So, with that said...
