Long Pose Assignment
© 2022 BigwigI submitted this for a class assignment and would like some help getting more movement in my drawing. I started this piece with a quick 1 minute gesture drawing and then built it up from there. It just feels "stiff".
I think you could make the pose more dynamic by extending the right foot to the left, and adding more of a 'curl' to the upper body. That would mean that the person's back would be more turned towards the viewer and the shoulders would pop out a bit more. But don't do this too much- the person looks to be older and often older peoples bodies just look a bit more 'stiff'. If you overdo it it can look very unnatural in comparison so a persons age. I would also recommend making the shadows, on the pants, a little less hard, and shade them a bit more.
