The qualities that make this #3 in my long drawings are the line and proportion factors. There is a slight variation of value from dark to light in the line and added shadowing. The use of long axis lines mimic bone placement on the legs and arms. The proportions of the ribcage and pelvis placement is accurate. This pose allowed for an immense amount of information about the figure's bones and muscles.
There is an ease about drawing the same figure each day of class because you're able to notice new details about the figure. The curves and bumps of the figure's physical body stand out in the abdominal and ribcage areas.
This drawing was about thirty minutes and we were learning about foreshortening during class. The right arm of the figure is coming toward the viewer. Capturing this proportions requires shortening the drawn arm to make up for the foreshortening factor. The abdominal region is also foreshortened. The viewer can see the edge of the far left side of the figures abdominals. The area between the two sides of the pelvis becomes very small in the drawing because of how flat the figure is laying.

in the last two weeks of class, we will have at least two longer poses, i'm hoping. during these long poses, work at describing the muscles and anatomical landmarks. in this drawings, you're doing that only a little. i need to see more.
