Interpretive Dance Figure Drawing

Charcoal drawing on gray newsprint paper. Pictured here are two female figures from front and back view. Front facing figure is standing on one leg, the other leg is bent in the knee and placed on the straight leg, similar to ballerina stance. The torso is turned to the left with both arms up as if stopped mid-motion. The second figure from the back view is standing in relaxed pose, the drawing is quite unfinished without feet or arms.

This set is kind of interesting, because it looks like and interpretive dance figure drawing. The female figure on the left is captures in a curious pose. It looks as if she’s jumping or waving at the figure next to her. I have a feeling, the model had the leg positioned at an unfavorable angle, and rather then drawing it, I decided to change one of the legs. That’s probably why the light on one of the knees looks wrong, I probably ran out of time before I had the chance to correct it.

Each of these gestures took 5 minutes, and I probably got interrupted and haven’t finished the second one. However, I do like the motion of the figure on the left, it’s almost amusing. I might work this one into a finished artwork.
