Charcoal Anatomy of Movement #3

This is a repeat of the previous sequence of movement study from a different angle again in charcoal and taking about 5 minutes to complete.

The use of a different angle allowed for better focus on foreshortening in the limbs, especially the legs which are now facing away from the observer which gives a better feeling of depth. Again the drawing flows with the feeling of movement due to the continuous & layered nature of the sketch. From this top view angle the gesture shown by the hands is easily noticed which further adds to the piece.

The use of gestural lines to portray the direction of the movement could have been left out by the artist which are noticeable and distract from the main piece.
