Untitled #119


Untitled #119
24" X 36"
Charcoal on Paper
2013

This 40 min. pose from life worked out well in that the model displayed a nice shift between the head and torso directions. The models quiet and stoic expression lent itself well to the rigidity in his posture. This is no slouching pose.  

Ellipses, Spheres, and circular shapes are where my particular working attack of segmentation becomes the most evident, as in the oval shape at the bottom of the stool. It's very polygonal*, or as some would say; faceted.

*Polygon: A closed planar path comprised of a series of straight line segments.
