Same Pose – Two Views Drawing

Charcoal drawing on gray paper. Depicted here are two figures in the same pose, but from different angles - front and back. The figure is standing with one leg straight. the other one bent in the knee. One arm is raised above head.

I usually go to the short pose life drawing sessions, because I can practice drawing the figure quickly and in a loose fashion. Most of the times, each pose is different. Sometimes, the model does the same pose, but turns to change the viewing angle. And sometimes, I just switch easels to get the same pose, but two views drawing. In this gesture, exactly this has happened. The figure is pictured from the back, and from the front, but the pose is the same. I used willow charcoal on large newsprint paper. The figure from the back probably took around 15 minutes, the second figure probably took 5-7 minutes.
