Discord Gesture

Discord gesture. Charcoal drawing of two standing female figures. First one is pictured from a side, she’s walking away to the left. The second figure is pictured from the back and she’s walking away from the viewer.

These two poses look like a discord gesture. Something along the lines of “Fine. Fine!’ has transpired here and now they’re walking away in different directions. Who’s going to say “sorry” first? That’s what imagination is for! ;D

Each pose in this drawing took about 7 minutes. I like the flow of lights and shadows in this gesture. The looseness of the lines adds lightness to the figure on the left. It can be viewed as incomplete, but I feel like it makes the gesture more dynamic. It’s like that mist in Chinese paintings that suggests something with nothingness.
