Entry 13: Anatomy drawing

This week's entry is a finished piece of an anatomy study. This drawing was made in 45 minutes and done with graphite stick. I chose the angle to work from because of its foreshortening and for it's good view of the model. It covers the whole body and also all the limbs and the face. Since the drawing was made in 45 minutes I had all the time I needed to finish it off to a satisfying standard.

Apart from the challenge of capturing the anatomy of the female body I also had to capture the cloth she's laying upon and also the one that's coving her body. The cloths that's covering her is a bit edgy to be 100% accurate, but it's resembles the expressionistic style of drawing. The values of light and shadow however is quite well done. The covering cloth may also be the strongest point of interest in this piece, mostly because of the way it's been drawn. The piece is also nicely framed by the hard dark lines around the model. The lines are pointing towards her and attracts the eye to her.

Overall I've pretty please with this piece. The anatomy is rather good, but there is some weak points such as her left foot that's in the bottom right of the drawing. Although this weakness might not be to visible due to the point of interest (the cloth that's covering the model). None the less it isn't an excuse to not do the anatomy as accurate as possible.
