Balance, Weight and Dynamism

 Here the artist has tried to draw models doing poses that emphasise the use of balance, weight and dynamism in static poses. In the top picture on the left it shows the model is sitting upright while leaning on his right arm. The artist has shown this quite well due to the angle of the models body slightly turned and twisted towards the right. The weight of his body is shown on his arm due to the anatomy of his right shoulder muscle, being defined much more than the left, the artist has used a weight of line to give the impression that the muscles in his shoulder are tensed on the right and relaxed on the left. Within the picture the artist has also added cast shadows which brings depth into the image. This picture has given the impression of weight and balance quite well.

 With this picture that the artist has drawn of the model balancing upright while holding onto a pole. The model has all of his weight on his arms and shoulders and to a lesser degree, his legs. To show this the artist has shown the anatomy of the model quite well by defining his arm and leg muscles. There is a good use of foreshortening on the models right arm this gives the picture a lot more depth and outlines the angle at which the model was holding the pole.

Here the artist has drawn a model with his hands on a table or object to keep themselves upright. The anatomy shown in the muscles of the arms and the back muscles have been very nicely toned and defined. This gives the impression of weight and balance that is being put on the models upper body. It is unfortunate that the artist didn't finish this drawing, adding hands to it would have added a lot more to the drawing overall.

In this picture the model is sat down leaning back on both of his hands, balancing themselves up. The artist has managed to define the arms and the back muscles of the model well to show weight and balance. The shadow that has been shaded onto the model also adds a lot of depth to the image because it defines those muscles even more.
