Dynamic Pose

This is a 15 minute study of a dynamic open form in pose using graphite, you can see the lines used to plan the drawing, the hips and shoulders, the spine, legs and arms, all with structure to start off the basis of the drawing. There is good anatomy in this showing muscle shapes well because of the dynamic pose, the pose is dynamic because there is tension in the pose, you can see the muscles in the arm working and it looks like a tough position to hold for long. You can also tell because of the weighting of the model, with the shoulders hunched and feet split apart that the drawing is very dynamic. This drawing could benefit from surroundings, adding a shading to show the floor. Although I feel that it is successful as it shows dynamism through tension and the strength and weight of line.
