Life Photo-set: Kimi (Patreon)

Kimi was one of the original Drawing Circus team, volunteering for our early prop-making sessions and working our first 'Circus events as both photographer and model. She set up her own theatrical life drawing sessions (Malice In Wasteland) a few years later, taking Cyborg-themed drawing to a whole host of festivals. As well as being wonderful model herself, Kimi is a dedicated evangelist of life modelling as a tool for developing greater self acceptance and body confidence and is always finding new ways to help other people explore the creative possibilities of both posing and drawing. It was a real treat to have her in to pose for the Patreon photosets - she bough some of her festival props along and worked a series of traditional Bahraini dance moves into her set. You can find some more links to Kimi's work below the contact sheets:
