Week 7: Balance & Weight & Dynamism

This week's session explored concepts such as balance, weight and gesture as well as foreshortening and oblique angles. The first image consists of four 1 minute pencil sketches, where one can see how weight is distributed in each different posture. The first two are dynamic poses with open forms, while the third is a static pose since the model is sitting in a relaxed manner. The fourth pose is also dynamic but seems to show more closed forms since the lines are pulling inward and the focus is inside.


The second 10 minute pencil drawing does not seem to be static since it requires the model to sit in an unstable pose, with tension in the arms as they are holding the weight of the upper body. The dynamic pose has closed forms in the lower body while the antithesis is happening in the upper one, creating tension.

The third 10 minute pencil drawing shows the model in a seemingly static pose as there is no tension in the body and the image is well balanced.
