Week 5: Anatomy

A 10 minute anatomy and pose study, again with quite a focus on foreshortening.

In this image the foreshortening is clear and good. It is quite obvious to the viewer that the leg is held upright in front of the body, and also that the rest of the body is behind it at a different angle. The proportions are good, and the perspective points clearly to a horizon line above the top of the picture.

There are also some good lines in the image, for instance the one which comes down from the raised arm and follows the body towards the leg. This is a good continuous line and helps to create form in the image, as does some of the directional shading, which gives a feeling of weight and depth to the picture.
