Static poses

 These drawings are all of static poses, that show no dynamism or movement whatsoever. The drawing on the left was made using charcoal, The artist has used charcoal to add shadows around the legs that gives quite a lot of tonal value, the shadow gives the impression of 3 dimensions. The shadowing has also been used to outline the anatomy of the female model, the neck and the outline of her deltoid muscle has been nicely outlined. The proportions in this image aren't the best and could have been improved, her head, foot and hands are too small. However the rest of the model is quite nicely proportioned.

This drawing was made using graphite pencil. The artist has used the graphite quite effectively on the cloth at the bottom of the image, he has given the folds of the cloth quite a nice form and depth with the lines and shading. The anatomy of the model is very nicely proportioned and detailed, it has a good use of foreshortening towards the models head and face and the arm laid on top of her body.

 This drawing was made using charcoal and is of a woman sat down with her back towards the artist. The female models head is poorly proportioned in comparison to her body, it should be enlarged. However the anatomy of the body has accuracy, especially towards the models bottom, the artist has drawn it so it looks like all her weight is balanced there, the shading further enforces this and adds depth. The folds on the cloth and the shadowing has been very nicely done, it adds a lot of form to the cloth. The artist has also used a putty rubber around the edge of the table that the model is sat upon. This gives the impression of the edge of the table and that the cloth starts to fall to the floor.

This is an image of a man stood up, drawn in graphite pencil. The proportions in the image have been drawn reasonably well, the head should be a tiny bit larger but overall it is good. The anatomy is also reasonably accurate with the back muscles and bottom. The shading in this is pretty lacklustre, it does not really add any kind of form and adds only a tiny bit of depth with the left arm.
