Life drawing image uses tonal changes to give the idea of
muscles depth as well as an idea of lighting, we can also see some good
observation of anatomy for example the muscles of the leg are clearly
recognisable, both the curve of the lower leg and the bend of the knee are
carefully done with knowledgeable tonal effects you can also see the detail of
the ankle and heels of the feet. The top half of the inner leg is shaded as the
body and the table are sheltering it from full illumination. Above it the navel
a dark spot amounts the light stomach shaded only to guide the curves of the
body to reveal the shape. The positioning of the navel helps give away the
slight twist in the body, the legs facing towards us with the upper torso
turned to face left as the figure leans on the table. The arms show necessary foreshortening
on the image with the dark crease of the fold in the arm and the elbow clearly
bent then the arm heading towards us. Near shoulder is a good example of muscle
in the image, with the shape of the shoulder them the impression of the bicep
created through variance in the tone.
