Drama Lama Drawings

Depicted in this charcoal drawing are two standing female figures. One is pictured from the back with her arms on her hips and legs in a wide stance with one knee bent, she's looking at the second figure. Figure two is in a dramatic pose as if spinning or leaving, hence the name Drama Lama Drawings.

These two gesture drawings took about 5 minutes each. I used soft charcoal on newsprint paper. I like the overall capture of the poses. There’s clearly some drama between these two, but we’ll never know for sure. It amuses me to come up with random stories for these figures, even though it’s the same model that I drew at two different points in time. Drawing can flatten and compress time, it’s like magic (or science). These are going to be my Drama Lama Drawings from now on! Perhaps we’re witnessing the birth of the new art series, who knows.
