Posture and Pose James Conte Crayon

This was a 5-10 minute observation of posture and pose done in 3 of the conte crayons.

This piece uses quite a lot of detail, proportion an perspective to effectively portray the models posture and stance. The artist has kept in the development lines used to map out the drawing but has managed to hide most of them away using the conte crayon, with only the ones in the legs remaining. The artist has captured the slouch of the model quite effectively and the positions and scale of the models hands, heads and shoulders. Even including the tattoo on the models left arm and the lines of the knuckles in the hand.

The artist hasn't used a good amount of foreshortening in this piece mainly with the body appearing too long (the distance between the shoulders and hips seems too far).
