Learn More About The Woman Drawing
The female form and artwork go hand-in-hand. Since ancient times, women have been the subject of paintings, sculptures, and sketches.
Hundreds of famous paintings feature portraits of women. This has not changed with the passage of time. Even today, popular culture such as anime cartoons are often centered around depictions of feminine characters.
Many of the women in art are religious icons. Ancient peoples made statues of their goddesses, such as Artemis and Athena.
Some of these statues were huge and housed in temples. Others were small icons kept in private homes.
Artwork featuring women has had many meanings. Some are used to represent fertility or parenthood. At other times, women represent innocence or temptation.
Inanimate things, such as "Mother Nature" have been represented in female form.

If her gown is left unshaded, white, it could represent matrimony. Such elegant evening gowns are often associated with high school proms and the lifestyles of the rich and famous - yachts, cocktail parties, and red carpets.
Or, the clothing could be considered seductive, as in the case of Jessica Rabbit.
