Chapter 2 | SITTING

In the following drawing, the model figure from previous lessons is sitting on a chair. We look at him or her from all sides. On a few figures red stripes are drawn so that you can see where the buttocks and hips are.

Exercise: Try to draw one or more sitting figures. You can let them chat with each other if you like.

Here some examples of pupils. One of them is extremely lazy, drawn by an older student.

Finally a masterpiece of an artist of a seated woman, seen from the back. For these kinds of studies, a model has to sit still for quite a while. On the gray paper the artist was not only able to draw shadows but also to add light with a white pencil. If you like you can ask someone to sit for you as a model.
