Untitled #48


Untitled #48
24" X 36"
Charcoal on Paper
2013

I used an atmospheric perspective approach on many of the forms in this 1½  hour pose from life. I've found it useful for conveying a sense of depth for poses that are very foreshortened. 

I've squared off many of the bony landmarks just under the skin as well as they were quite prominent on the model. Especially in the knees, and at the top of the humerus - or arm bone. The model's features were a good fit with my approach to simplification and exaggeration.
