Untitled #153


Untitled #153
24" X 36"
Charcoal on Paper
2013

Angles like this can be a bit tricky as they are rather unconventional. Although they can often make for a more interesting composition. Of course it's difficult to make any serious composition plans when the pose is only 20 min. long as in this drawing. This is especially true when working at bigger scales like 24" X 36".  

I'm not a huge fan of 20 min. interval poses when working larger as most of the time is spent trying to get enough down so that you have something worthwhile for the effort. I find 25, 30, and 40 min. poses to be much more rewarding. Even when working smaller. Regardless of the pose length though, it's still a joyous experience to be working from life.
