This figure drawing looks at the posture of the figure and
how that is conveyed. The angle of the legs crossing one another is obviously
vital in conveying posture, notice how the shape of the knee and the muscles of
the leg can be seen. The shading of the back and the detail of the clavicles
which convey the angle of the torso, which differs from that of the head help
to convey the specific posture of the figure. The visible folds of the skin
across the stomach add to the impression of being bent over which all adds to
show where the weight of the figure is resting on. The body’s weight as it sits
is placed onto its gluteus and its left leg (as the other leg rest on top of
it). However its head rests on its arm, this is an area of interest in the
image and so more attention to detail has been given to it. Specifically the
gesture of the hand so as to show the weight resting on it, the detail of the
arm muscles and the drawing on of some of the facial features to give away the
angle of the head.
