One of my more successful efforts. I like the simplicity of the line and I got the proportions mostly right. I would have liked to include the line of the buttocks but had my board the wrong way round in order to see over it!
An attempt at a more tonal approach. Again, I'm relatively pleased with this.
I attempted to model the form with the side of a piece of charcoal. The paper I used was very thin so there are marks showing through from the drawing board surface.
The visible arm is too short, lacks mass, and appears to be resting in mid-air. the head is on the small side too.
The tilt of the face is a little off but overall I think I caught the pose.
I seem to have the most problem with standing poses, although as I usually work from a sitting position I should probably stand at an easel and attempt these.
Prone poses are what I enjoy most. It is rather more like looking at the shape of a landscape and I find them easier to arrange on the page. The arm lacks mass, however, and the lack of definition on the feet still gives the impression they are too small.
