At life drawing sessions, we get different models and some tend to keep their arms close to the body. This is a classical contrapposto pose, but I’m not quite happy about the arm. I prefer when the arms are away from the body for short poses, because they tend to hide important points on the body. This pose would have been great if I could see the torso fully. Otherwise, my brain tries to fill in the gaps and I end up with something that feels just a little off. Nowadays, I just don’t draw the arm at all and fill in the torso from memory, but in 2021, it was way harder for me to do! Anyway, do you think it’s a statue or a woman drawing?
