Ballerina Sketch 2
graphite/charcoal
14" x 11"
I told myself to stop after a certain amount of time. That's hard to do when you want to fuss on it just a little more!
This gesture drawing hopefully captures the body's movement and the overall angle and direction of the pose in a limited amount of time. Before moving on from this point the gesture of the figure must be captured.
Because of the diagonal direction of the arms, countered against her upper body, this pose presented it's own set of challenges. So I was constantly checking my angles- vertical, horizontal and diagonal to see how everything lines up. For instance a vertical check or imaginary plumb line would show how the ear, shoulder, elbow, and knee all vertically line up!
Have a great day!
