Dancer marker study

One complete adult dancer in a balanced standing pose, one arm raised and the other extended, one leg planted and the other bent, plain fitted clothing. Practice structure, perspective and developed values in black and gray marker.

A way into the drawing

1. Establish the main shapes

   Map the torso tilt and supporting leg.

2. Connect the structure

   Attach both arms and the bent free leg.

3. Develop the drawing

   Resolve the connected planes and overlaps, then build layered details and a full range of local values. Preserve clear paper highlights.

A small thing to tryCheck the body weight falls above the planted foot.
