PIN UP STANDING POSES___01

Some months ago I did a private drawing session with a burlesque dance teacher.

(Marina Salvador, Barcelona 2014)

I took some photos which I used to draw these thumbnails.

When I sketch from photo references, I try to simulate the same working conditions of a life drawing session. I use a timer and never spend more than 3 minutes to finish a single pose.

This month, I´m going to design some exercises to teach how to draw the female standing figure. 

STANDING POSES are very useful to understand and memorize the standard proportions of the female body. After you know them, it´s easier to exaggerate the anatomical structure and create better FEMALE CARICATURES.
