Detailed Sketch

Click on the image at the left to see the entire sketch at super-high resolution. (It may take a moment to load.)

Below are my comments on specific details.

man's back closeup

This sketching style looks for the middle lines between shadow and light. It's often where the shadow is darkest, on the dark side of the line it often gets lighter due to reflected light.

This model was not self-conscious at all; the chair he's sitting on was in the center of the room, so the other half of the class saw him from the front.

towel closeup

It was hard to draw this cloth (shirt) because he kept moving it slightly.

foot closeup

I think this foot is a pretty good shape. Feet often need to be drawn in weird positions.
