Foreshortening

This life drawing shows three different postures of a man miming the use of a punt. Outline emphasis and use of charcoal  mean the silhouette is the most pronounced part of this image. This is useful to show foreshortening however, as the shoulders stay level even while the figure becomes larger on the page.

Use of shadow on the person is evident although shadow on the ground is not.

The first problem is that page planning has been misjudged, with two of the pictures cutting off the top of the figures head. The more pronounced outline mean that the muscles are more defined, although some of the legs appear to have had corrections that lead to confusion of the detail. A couple of planning lines appear to have been drawn, but not used.
