Week 11 Colour in skin


This is a pastel drawing of a naked model. The drawing is made for about 15 minuets. The color palette chosen for this drawing is black and white on a green background. The black is sticking out of the green, while the white gives strong highlights. 

The model is sitting on a table, covered with a sheet. The right leg is standing higher then the left one. And the right arm is leaning on the leg and the head is leaning on the right arm, giving support for the body.
The left shoulder is stretched forward, and the arm is placed among the legs, giving balance for the drawing. 
The focal point for this drawing is the left part of the hip, because the highlights there are the strongest. From there, the eye follows the highlights on the leg and then going upwards from the left stretched arm, while noticing the  right limbs of the figure.
