Naked Drawing Group July session was cancelled today. There was a friend of the scheduled model who always wanted to pose nude for figure drawing, he was available today, so sometimes things work out for the best.
The images are cropped from the original, as the likenesses were close, and the model requested discretion.
2 oz Hibiki Whiskey
.75 oz Triple sec
2 oz mint syrup
6 ice cubes
Into the blender at the frozen drink setting.
