Description
Anyone have any good ideas for the title to this one?
Too drained to think of anything good for it.People glancing through my scraps might remember this pose from the beginning of the semester, it was from my second week of study, when we were exploring straight lines and the use in drawing the form. For our finals this week, we could either draw three portraits or redraw three poses from earlier in the semester, and, I chose the poses. I've always loved drawing portraits, but, I need the practice drawing the form more. 'Sittin Pretty' is the first of the three. This is the second.
I could have gotten some better detail work on this, had I tried harder.
Slacking = bad. I spent several hours on this one, nonetheless. While I do see an improvement of this one over the first time I drew it, I know it could be much better.4b charcoal on drawing paper

I think the left foot is turned in a little too much...but if I were you I wouldn't take advice from me. I am, possibly, a 7 on a scale of 1-23 of good criticism. Did that even make any sense? (Implode.)

I like the pose of hte figure and the shading's wonderful. I agree withthe left foot looking a tad bit too wide, the drawing still looks great though! ^_^

Boy I'm having trouble picking which of your figures I want to fav. ^_^
One thing I did want to comment on with this one was that left foot. As I have seen in your other drawings, generally your feet are really amazing, and that one here just strikes me as off for some reason. This gesture is really wonderful through the lower body, but something in the upper body just looks off to me. I think it's the placement of the left shoulder though I could have to see the image to really say. I am going to guess from the pose that this is done from an image and not a model just cause it would be really hard to hold. lol But still, the tonal work is beautiful and I am really fond of the lower back area.

Thank you very much!
That pose was weird to draw, both times, because it looks so ... unnatural. But it's such great practice! Thanks again for your comments

All right, now let me look and see.
It must be strange working from the computer screen, heh. Well one thing I notice about the arm now it that in your drawing it is picking up more light than it seems to be in the photograph. Since the body is turned from us a little that arm is a bit more back in space and the shadow that runs along the back continues onto the arm. There are high points of light on the arm but in relation to the high points of light on the upperback/nexk area for example, they are not as strong.
The foot issue is more apparent now as well. The foot is just a TAD too wide compared to the ankle I think. Its enough to make the foot noticeably appear odd in perspective of how we see the leg turned. Also, I think the tone of the inside of the leg running up the calf could be more consistent. Having the heel be very light against the other section of the foot would really make it pop.
Be careful not to push your reflected light to rivaling your direct light.
