Body explorations

Previously, i had been working with the idea of mutations and the drive to be the best through evolution. Now my concepts have developed and i am now more interested in looking at the present obsessions with the body and creating your perfect ideal.These drawings and painting are my first explorations of the nude body and with mixing literature with my artwork.

As i was struggling a little to develop my idea, i decided to try doing a quick painting of a larger women in a different setting to that we usually see them in and being idolised. I haven't finished painting in the figure and im not sure i will, it has not given me the desired effect i was aiming for.
