Flat line

breasts hands thighs

A drawing done in pencil on textured paper  at the Frederick drawing group. I wasn’t happy with the pose at first. The model’s head, arms, chest, and thighs were lined up horizontally and seemed quite static and unexpressive. But I found that the pose’s simplicity allowed me to focus on details like the soft shadows  and on each finger. Something about the angularity of the hand in contrast with the sensuality and roundness of the breast and thighs makes it look like it is from a different planet, but then maybe hands are.
