Life photo-set: Lilith

As one of most photographed models Lilith never fails to throw new and exciting poses for us to draw. Their last life photo-set was shot by Olly Hearsy, so this time it is Justyna's turn, with a whole range of angles and crops to compliment the full figure poses.  Eagle-eye aficionados of art history might recognise Lilith's reference to Jean-Léon Gérôme's '2023-12-29 10:00:02 +0000 UTC View Post

Christmas Photo-set Special: Santa Claus

Winter '23-'24 Teaser

How to use the photosets

Winter is upon us here in the UK and we've launched into the season with a series of photo-sets that embrace the ensuing darkness. We've kept to photo-sets with a cooler feel to them, from Tilli's icy blue background to the pale, diaphanous fabrics of Lucy and Frankie's photo sets.
