Detail

Here’s a relatively quick figure drawing (4 sessions) where I purposefully tried to keep things sketchy and dynamic, leaving marks in a rawer state without refining them too much. I want the proportions and characterisation of the pose to be carefully seen, but for the finish to have energy and my own personality. At least, that’s what I’m aiming for.
