Here are two five-minute poses from life drawing sessions at TSOFA. I actually like both of these drawing. They’re simply dynamic gesture poses that capture the movement and intent. There’s emotion and anticipation despite some anatomical inaccuracies. This is proof that a pose doesn’t need to be long to capture it well. Often enough, basic few swipes of charcoal on paper capture the movement, afterwards it’s just filling in the blanks. I used soft charcoal on newsprint paper.
The climbing figure gives me a plant or dryad feeling, especially around the arms and extended leg. I might use it in one of the future drawings!
