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.
