Movement

This was a 5 minute study of movement within anatomy in graphite, as you can see the model held their upper body stationary but moved only their legs, this gave a nice effect of movement that you can still comprehend.

Due to the time frame between each pose it was not possible to capture more than the general anatomy and pose of the model, this is good because it helps with speed and accuracy with drawing, as you may not be drawing something stationary all the time. But if you spent more than a few minutes on each pose then the sense of movement would be lost in finished drawings. With the first drawing I mapped the internals of the whole body to get the sense of the pose, with that in place it helped me draw the rest of the drawings on top, I found the weight of the line needed to increase as I drew legs on top of legs.

Again this is a study of movement within anatomy using charcoal, it took 5 minutes to complete spending 1 minute on each pose on average.

Here the model is moving around the table, from a sitting to a standing back to a sitting pose, the charcoal appears much bolder when drawing each pose, giving more confidence in creating long lines for the curves of the spines and the angle of the arms.

The perspective of the model changes as they move from each position so it gives the illusion of movement, doing this in a small amount of time and capturing the balance, weight and proportion of the model is a hard thing to do but was done well in there sketches.

Both these drawings are successful as they show clear movement of the model with good proportions and scale to each other, whilst the composition on the paper is thought through, as well as the pose.
