week 6:Anatomy and Movement

 

This is a 25 minute figure drawing with a B6 pencil. This pose is interesting as there is a lot of foreshortening happening in the area around the arms and shows good balance.

The muscles are highly detailed with a good shape. It is clear that she is about to swing with her hands as the muscles in the arm show tension as well as the legs. In proportions it is fairly good, although even there is a foreshortening in the arms it still looks a little bit off like they are not drawn in the right agnle. The drawing has a good sense of depth and value, you can clearly see all the cast and selfshadows. The highlights are a bit hard to distinguish as the contrast isn't that good.

In overall this is a good drawing showing movement. The background isn't completely finished as there is space on the left and not much detail in the back, behind the girl.
