Same Pose – Two Angles

This charcoal drawing on gray paper features same pose from two angles. One from the front, and one from the back side. The figure stand with weight on one leg and one arm on the hip. The other leg is relaxed and extended, but the other arm is bent in the elbow and placed on the shoulder of another figure. It looks like a repeating pattern with alternating front and back view.

And the drama continues in the next 20 minutes! This set of drawings took about 10 minutes each, and it’s the same pose drawn from different angles. I like the placement of these two figures on paper, it looks playful and intriguing to me. It feels like a beginning of recursion, each person holding its hand on the should of another, and another, and another.

The figures themselves are not that well defined and a little rigid, but I like the promise of this composition. It’s interesting, that even though the pose is the same, they all looking at the same thing. What is it?
