This drawing was done in 45 minutes on A1 with graphite, it focused on perspective and foreshortening within figure, the vantage point chosen displayed a strong example of foreshortening on the person.
The general location of the head and body are mapped well and display a decent sense of foreshortening however quite minimal throughout the body of the model. The pose works well to help enforce the idea of foreshortening. The pose is described by the strong perspective and shadows which depict the form of the body. The body shape is well done to create a visually pleasing drawing certain body parts have strong shape such as the left thigh and head. Another strong aspect is the composition of the piece with the head being within the rule of thirds and the figure being a strong implied line for the eye to follow.
However due to the difficult pose and the strong sense of foreshortening which was attempted, certain elements of the drawing are incorrect for example the legs seem very disproportionate for the rest of the body, with the right foot being smaller than the left, while the left is further away from the viewing position. Due to the mapping of the body parts and the specific way the image was drawn the gesture of the body seems tight, while the gesture could have flowed nicer using the same technique of boxing in the body parts overall it seems to have had a negative effect on the art.
