10 minute pose

by Pentapes, May 19th 2026 © 2026 Pentapes
Done as part of a 30 minute class. My current goal is: Reduce stiffness and make my drawings feel more dynamic, also improve anatomy and understanding of proportion I did a quick drawing with pink pencil, then refined it with blue pencil.

confident lines and wonderful shadow placement!

to reduce stiffness you could over exaggerate the gesture of the pose u see. adding detail always makes a pose stiffer.

to improve on the proportions you can always revisit simpler exercise (mannequin etc)

wonderful work.

I really love this and the colors. The only thing that sticks out to me upon first glance is her shoulder that faces us. I would make it more pronounced so you can tell her shoulder is there.
