Low angle poses, part 6

Carole seated on a block, viewed from a low angle

This week I’m closing out the set of low angle poses from the Love Life Drawing reference library. It’s been fascinating to work with these, and I think I can see real improvements in my drawing from the beginning to the end. My contour shading continues to improve, although I’m still not doing a lot to define multiple value regions within it. Carole’s face and hands look pretty odd, above, but the shading is pretty solid. I particularly am happy with the transition from breast to rib cage here. That sort of soft angle transition is tough.
