Study group - weight and balance 4

Another large set of figures for this week’s Love Life Drawing study group as we continue with week 4 of the weight and balance unit. This week we turn our attention to figures more at rest than the dynamic one of the last few weeks.

I apologize I am once again unable to share the references that go along with this. The skeletal figures across the top are from a street scene of people seemingly waiting on a boat. If you pay close attention you can see a few fiddling with their phones. Below that you have a set of people waiting for a bus, and most of them are also drawn into their phones. On the right edge you have a weight lifter and a guy relaxing with a drink at a bar.

I like the weight lifter guy, with the arm held out to the side to counter-balance the weight. I also like the middle two bus figures. Their slouches read pretty cleanly. All of this was kind of off-the-cuff. No measurement to speak of; just trying to feel my way through angles and proportions. In some places you can tell things feel off. But it’s not terrible anywhere.
