This set of images focuses on conveying emotion through the use of different poses. The above one is a collection of draft sketches showing a good variety of poses with various emotional overtones. The furthest left one displays an almost tired, disapproving stance, whereas others, like the one central at the top is that of an upbeat exercise pose. This is clearly meant as an earlier plan, but the marks made by the artist display an understanding for the anatomy, and how it alters with the different poses illustrated.
This image gives off the feeling that the model is tired through the artists depiction of emotion and perspective. Along with an added element of foreshortening to the right arm, and also the left leg. The shading also displays very good observational skills and adds depth to the piece. The left arm also helps to portray the exhaustion of the model, there is also well proportioned anatomy, particularly noticeable in the tricky leg drawing. The only criticism would perhaps be that there is a slight lack of depth to the sheet backdrop, and its corners could perhaps done with some subtle shading.
The emotion this image exhibits is one of solitude, almost boredom. And the shading helps to get this message across, giving it a dark feeling of deep thought and loneliness. There is a rough element to the picture with the strokes used to define the majority of the lines on display. The musculature of the back also seems to be one of a world weary, older model, with its slightly hunched appearance enhancing this.
