Figure Drawing

 

This is an observational drawing of a figure seated in an armchair. In this drawing I am incredibly happy with the proportion, which is accurate throughout the composition, despite the complicated detail. The foreshortening of the figure's left arm is something I feel I managed to complete well, because it shows that the arm is pointing towards the camera, creating a 3D illusion of depth. The use of shading to show the creases in the material was successful, with the use of etching to show texture. To highlight the main curves of the figure, shading was again used, such as how the legs curl round in the seat. To improve this composition I would add more detail to the hair to lend it the same detail as the rest of the image.
