Week 7: Balance & Weight

A 15 minute drawing focusing on the weight of the body, in this especially around the elbow this is evident. While the legs appear to be in a very relaxed position, shown by their lack of stretch and slight bend, the elbow on which she rests is in contrast and looks quite uncomfortable. This is increased by the slight hang of the head, which would occur when weight is focused on the shoulder and elbow.

The concept of weight in this drawing is also helped by the shading in it, which gives a sense of form and shape to the body which helps the viewer to understand the weight it carries.
