These quick warm-up sketches show posture and pose. The balance and weight of each that I have captured show that the figure is correctly standing up and not about to fall over. There is also gesture on each, although not very clear as there was not much time to portray it, this is what brings life to the sketches, for example on the bottom one the spine is slightly curved and the head is tilted back a bit.
This 15 minute sketch also displays posture and pose. The model looks sturdy and properly balanced with the weight being placed throughout the left side of the body. Although to improve the posture, the right leg could have been drawn in a more straight line. The gesture throughout this sketch is demonstrated particularly well with the head being slightly bent down onto the hand and if you follow the inner curve of the drawing you can clearly see what the gesture is. This drawing was done with a 2B pencil.
This sketch shows good proportion and weight. The weight can be seen with the arch of the back leading into the taught bottom and also the hands either side of the body. I have shown the muscles well running through the legs, although the muscles in the arm are not quite correct. All together you can see the gesture in this sketch, starting at the head and flowing down the torso and splitting up at each leg. I like the overall composition, and think it is interesting to look at as there are different things going on. I like the pointed toe and how the body isn't directly on the centre of the mat, but on one corner. I like how you can start to see a bit of shading going on, as it makes the picture look more 3 dimensional, seeing where the light and dark areas are on the torso.
