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.

close up breast

There are good negative shapes here - the shapes formed in the background around the figure. I'm very happy with this sketch in general since it was very fast but still in good proportion.

close up leg

I think this foot is in good perspective, but it's hard to see since I just barely sketched it. I don't like the hand; if I worked on the sketch more I'd have to rethink it.

close up back

It was hard getting this twist right. Basically the whole body is contorted. I just drew it very fast to capture the motion and flowing lines.
