This is a series of figure drawings, each being completed in around 20-30 minutes using charcoal on A3 paper. The aim of this drawing session was to further study human anatomy, pose and posture, and to practice figure drawing techniques.
There are visible construction lines and marks made which helped the measuring process when planning everything on paper. The proportions were kept mostly correct, and the angles of the body were nicely observed creating a good sense of balance, especially in the last image. Perspective seems a bit unclear in the second image however, as the pose of the model is quite challenging to study. The first two drawings also seem flat, and this effect is due to the lack of shading done to the studies. The third drawing however demonstrates effective use of shading for describing the anatomy of the model. Directional shading which follows the shape of certain muscles - technique most visible on the legs, and smudging along the spine, are effective techniques for an anatomy study.
The strong lines done with charcoal successfully portray the silhouettes of the subject for each drawing, and prove a good understanding of the poses.
