| Michael Whynot. Figure Study, 2013. Red chalk with white highlights. |
I'm posting three figure studies from this mornings life drawing session. All were done in red chalk with white conte highlights and all were thirty minute poses.
The model was a circus performer who was not only able to hold her poses well, but understood what a good pose looked like and was very aware of her body. She had that poise and grace that you so often see with dancers and performers.
A good draftsman should be able to draw any model in any pose, but a good model makes everything much easier. When you discover a good model, you will wish to draw him or her again and again. Especially the ones who put a lot of themselves into the pose; the ones who seem to be able to recreate themselves with every twist and turn of their form.
