Nude Drawing Contest (Original Illustration)

Good morning my beautiful people of steemit, the purpose of this drawing is to participate in the nude contest proposed by Hive account@yoganarchista. Although I haven't received any professional Painting or Art classes, I wanted to participate since it is one of my hobbies.

I've always wanted to take up this hobby again, but the daily occupations have practically put it aside. Today I am thankful that I saw this contest and encouraged myself to participate, after a long time without drawing.

It's the first time I've ever been naked, so I hope you like it and thank you for all your constructive criticism, because I'm a novice in this beautiful art and I'm missing a million techniques to learn.

My drawing was done with Mongol #2 graphite pencil because I didn't have a professional drawing pencil.

It's inspired by a photo of me in a bathing suit, from about 30 years ago, taken by my sister. I don't have it in digital (that's why I don't put it here). The place of the pose was in one of the beaches of Cumaná, Sucre State, Venezuela, where we always went with the whole family, we called this place La Playita.
