Week 7: Movement and Pose- Finished Sketch

This is a 30 minute finished anatomy sketch using pencil. The focus in this image is on pose in figure drawing. A low vantage point was chosen to create an interesting perspective and foreshortening. As the main focus was on pose and the position of the model was stretched across the floor it was an interesting point to draw from. The models body twists slightly into a gesture that's contrasting to draw, one side is lit and well visible whereas the other is hidden and darkened by the lack of light. 

Although the drawings main focus was primarily pose, foreshortening is also visible in the drawing, as the model is spread across the floor in a portrait manner creating a line of sight across the models body. It's a drawing that allows the viewer's eyes to wander over the entire body mainly around the vantage point near the torso which is the most active area. Shading is also helpful is showing depth as although natural light covered most of the model, the active area is much more contrasting where the layers of the models body overlapped slightly. The legs are slightly out of proportion with the rest of the body, with more time this would be amended.
