This is a 20 minute anatomy sketch focusing on the proportions of a sat down model using pencil. The main focus was on the proportion and pose of the model. A vantage point was chosen of the model that would represent tone and light well. The pose the model uses is very closed as the whole body seems tightened up with the arm as the primary cause; wrapped around the leg holding it in. Though as he is stretched out some areas are also very open introducing lighter tonal values and contrasting them with the darkened closed areas.
The shading technique was used to further establish the closed gesture by contrasting how the inner areas of the model are much darker and hidden, compared to the much lighter outer area of the body. The light also creates an almost curve within the body, following a portrait line a sight, from the neck downwards to the slightly shaded areas that curve. The further down the body the light travels, the more emphasis there is on the curve of the spine. To improve, the legs are slightly out of proportion with the arms and adding a bit more shading in the facial area will help further elaborate the closed body feel.
