Side and Back View Figure Drawing

Charcoal drawing on gray newsprint paper. There are two standing figures from a side and back view. Side view figure looks like it has been captured mid-trun with one arm on the hip and another one mid-air as if putting something down. The figure from the back view has arms bend in the elbow and locked behind near the neck.

Here’s a charcoal drawing of two female figures – the side and back view. These two figures probably took 5-7 minutes each. I used willow charcoal on rough newsprint paper.

The figure from back view has an interesting arm position, which I did not get the chance to fully capture.

The figure from a side view probably had the farther arm down along her body, but it did not look well, and I adjusted it into a mid-motion position. I think this adds a dynamic element to the pose.
