Marion Seated 01 Print

Marion is a model with a lot of attitude. Her unique poses are not only interesting in terms of the forms and silhouettes, but she brings an air of nonchalance and sexual openness that make her poses stand out even more. This piece is done with black gouache on brown, textured craft paper (the reverse side of which is smooth). I used the gouache for sketching out the figure and then added shadows with a dry brush effect, accentuating the directional light coming from the right side of the page to create a sense of depth and volume. There's a strong overall triangular composition and sensation of weight on the hips of the model. The straight right arm pushing down on the right thigh with a firm grip is a nice visual element that helps give this sensation of weight. It was done at the Wednesday evening Life Drawing sessions held at Illumination Mac Guff, Paris, where I worked as a Character Animator for over three and a half years. The studio is known for such films as Despicable Me, Minions, The Secret Life of Pets and The Lorax. All of my figure drawings are from life - no photos were used at any point in their fabrication. The model is in front of you and you have a definite amount of time to get down as much information as you can or see fit. Because of this, each drawing is truly unique and a complete one of a kind, containing a spontaneity that can never be duplicated through photo inspired drawings/paintings.
