Low angle poses, part 5

Low angle 20

We’re getting closer to the end of the 25 low angle pose set from Love Life Drawing. Mostly I’m still working on my ink contour shading, which I’m getting happier with as we go. The above drawing I did as a value study with black holding lines. I’ve struggled with picking values in the past, but these I think look pretty cohesive together. The figure I think might be my best yet. Originally it was nothing to remark on, but I took a little break while drawing it to go pet my dog, and from a distance and angle, I saw that I had missed the subtle weight shift to one leg in the reference. I came back and tweaked the shapes around the pelvis and everything clicked into place. I think this might be my most solid, balanced looking figure yet.
