OCA D5: Line drawing of the whole figure

Once again, I took off to my life drawing group with my A2 pad and crayons. This week (Tues 11th) I wanted a line drawing of the whole figure. The model was a big chap with skinny calves and, excluding breaks, he was sitting the same pose for the full 2 hours. I came away with 2 line drawings. Actually, I came away with 3, but that's another story.

I was pleased with the figure in my first drawing, but overall the piece lacked composition; the image was lost. I have cropped the picture for my log, which has given it more focus.

Approaching my second meant considering the figure and the composition. This was much bolder with my figure occupying space at the forefront of my picture.
