This is a pastel drawing of a model wearing a huge robe. The drawing is made for about 20 minuets.
The robe is covering almost the entire body of the posing model, and makes a lot of curves. The model is sitting on a chair, allowing the drapery to slide down his body and create the wonderful curves. A bit information is given for the limbs of the model, just enough to give information of where everything stands. The left leg is standing on a higher level then the right one, and both hands are comfortably relaxed on both feet on different height, giving balance to the drawing.
I choose purple paper with white and dark blue pastels for this drawing. The blue sticks out from the bright purple, while the white gives strong highlights.
The focal point of this drawing is the right arm. After the eye sees it, starts following the curves among the legs, which make an "M"shape, then goes to the left leg and arm. The strong highlights give the drawing
a more detailed and specific look.
