Silhouette and Pose Practice 01: Arlene Channing

In 2012, I did a lot of gesture/pose captures and studies, so in 2013, I decided to see if I learned enough to apply them to the poses I come up with. It was definitely a learning experience, since you may see her hair and skirt often being off-model, as if she had a model to begin with, and I definitely made edits between the initial drawings and what finally got compiled.

I was hoping to upload this once I got 20-ish poses, but a whole year went by and I eventually had to concede that I needed a stronger sense of anatomy and perspective/foreshortening in general to be able to draw all of the poses I had in mind for her. Maybe someday I'll do another one for her.
