Pose
In a life drawing class, the model will continue to change
his/her pose, allowing artists to practice drawing different body parts
and poses. Remember that you do not need to draw the entire pose, nor will
you necessarily have enough time to do so, but the key is choosing the
feature that intrigues you most in the pose. It could be the way the light
hits a certain area of the body or casts a shadow over another. Could be
the angle at which the model rests their leg or tilts their head. The
point is that you will have many drawing options and the choice you make
will depend on your interests and drawing goals. Each viewpoint provides
opportunities to develop different drawing techniques and skills for
drawing various body parts. Frontal views and views from behind provide
greater opportunity for developing hatching techniques and rendering form
whereas profile poses allow for greater concentration in contour drawing.
In any pose however, volume and modeling will be essential for rendering
the human figure.
