Figure Sitting on Column

Charcoal drawing of a figure sitting on a marble column. It looks as if the figure is leaning back, her head is thrown back. One of her legs is on the ground, another one is bent and placed on the column.

In this gesture drawing, a figure is sitting on a column. That column was actually a regular barstool, but I improvised. That’s probably why it looks so wonky. I usually work on those elements last, and there probably wasn’t enough time to finish it properly. However, I like it as a gesture. This drawing probably took around 20 minutes, and the overal pose is a little wonky, but I think it has a good core. The grid in the back is probably a practice sketch, but it adds a scenic feel to the composition. As usual, charcoal on newsprint paper.
