Short pose drawing is great for capturing the living essence of the figure. It’s the dynamic gesture that makes charcoal come to life. This particular gesture is more complete, and it took me 7 minutes to draw. I didn’t have the time to re-define lights and darks, but I got proportion and pose pretty well. I like the overall pose and position of the feet, especially when I look back at my drawings from 2-3 years before this one! That’s the point of keeping all of your sketches, so that you can see growth. A lot of times when I don’t like my drawings, I remind myself to look back at these.
