New sketches of Susan Monson

Susan Monson -- actress and model extraordinaire -- brought her amazing creative energy to the figure group at CR Framing this week with two new characters.  Femme-fatale Artemis was decked out in a slinky leather body-suit and armed with two (toy) guns.  "The" is a character primping and practicing for a big audition, dressed to the nines in a shiny mini-dress, blue feather boa and shocking pink wig.  It's fun to see Susan morph into these characters and inhabit them, and it's a real treat to draw her.
