This post is targeted at those who say, “Huh?? What?” at Pose 6 below.
Actually, at least here in Tokyo, I still find some people like that at some painting shows.
On April 9, I joined in another human model drawing session, where I drew six poses as usual, 20 minutes for each.
Out of the six, here are three, Poses 2, 5, and 6. Since they are all 20-minute croquis (quick drawings), they are quite coarse and rough.
Please note that I worked in the sequence of 2 –> 5 –> 6. So, I began with the “easy-looking” one, Pose 2, and proceeded to Pose 6.
Why?? The model of the day, a lovely, lean female, carried some quiet yet sharp and keen atmosphere around her. I wanted to depict that atmosphere, rather than, say, the curves of her body, which are after all common among many young females.
With Pose 2, I was still “reading” her atmosphere and simply described the model’s body. Then, as I read her atmosphere further, I moved on to sharper lines.
I hope this post will help you appreciate some paintings and drawings —
Pose 2, 20-min croquis
Pose 5, 20-min croquis
