The clothed figure
Overall, this was my most satisfying piece. It isn't the most creative, but I really feel I captured her posture, the delicate fabric of her blouse and the subtle muscle tone in her back. I sometimes struggle with the patience required to be a little more subtle when drawing; partly due to me suffering from anxiety. I approached this with patience and calmness, and I'm thoroughly pleased with the results.
I was able to focus on the body as a whole, without getting bogged down in detail, and once I had the proportions, I worked gradually over the whole drawing, layering and slowly building tone and form.
I would need to approach a similar drawing in the same way, so if I wasn't restful then I could struggle with more delicate areas. Personally, I find it difficult to force a piece of artwork, so the quality, or variation in my line can often be determined by my state of mind.
