Initial sketches

Back in the day, I used to do a lot of life drawings. Some of my two or five-minute poses looked much better than the drawings I spent a longer time on; short-timed poses forced me to focus on action rather than fine details, which is practically impossible to capture in such a short amount of time. No matter what I’m working on, I always start with action. In this case, the aim was to make a sitting pose, but I wanted to try different options and see how far I could push this pose. Again, if you look at these sketches, the anatomy is not perfect in any way. However, most of them have a good sense of action and that is what I’m looking for in my first pass of these sketches.
