Models for life drawing do whatever they want.
A model will alternate standing poses with crouching poses and then she may feel like folding herself up and after that she’s likely to invert herself, feet up against the wall. Since I like to create a dense drawing surface, with overlapping figures, I tend to have several sheets of paper in the works. Let’s see, now her head is down and her arm is draping off the model stand…where should that go…there’s not much time to decide. The pose may last only three minutes. Then the paper has to be taped down…the timer ticks away. But this urgency is all for the good. It concentrates the mind.
The paper here was prepared in the manner discussed May 6, 2011.
