For the "big ugly bodies" topic, I was thinking along the lines of
-animals like rhinoceros etc

- vehicle bodies that have "suffered" in some way -
In the human realm, Jenny Saville's big portraits crossed my mind and on looking at them, I had mixed emotions - big bodies, fine; disfigured faces, not pleasant to look at...
In the abstract / conceptual realm, there is the "body of work" - and body of proof, body of evidence, body of lies....Or a body of water?
But what people came up with was hardly "ugly" - the drawings were inventive and beautiful!
From Judith - a pair of elephants from the Brunei exhibition
From Janet K - Earthenware tomb figure of a roaring lion. Tang Dynasty about 700-750. (From Brunei Gallery)
Body builders - Gross! (for "big ugly bodies")
From Carol - Here are some big ugly vegetable bodies which turn out to be very good for you. I will be having a cook up later. Celeriac, butternut squash, chayote and purple carrots (which were being sold as witches noses)
From Ann - Here are a few bodies..though I don't consider them ugly. Enjoyable to draw and lovely forms.
From Jo - I decided to have a scissors-fest with yesterday's paper!
From Gill - Some bodies created out of blots.
From Joyce - Big, ugly bodies, I give you a monkfish! Who knew they are so huge? I’ve included the fisherman to give it scale.
From Sue K - Here’s my take of a woman seated in the cafe. She seemed to ‘fit’ the bill - took a sneaky pic & did at home. She was deeply engrossed & barely moved.
From Judith - Memories of Horniman Museum Walrus.
