kimberly
wolff's carbon pencil on strathmore drawing, 14" x 10".
have been getting more into the problem of human figure proportions, the ideal schemes throughout history; writing a web page on figure painting; working with bridgeman's "constructive anatomy" to understand the anatomical fitting together.
kimberly always had a talent for amazing poses, and a feral head of magenta hair. i extended her legs as an experiment in proportions. it doesn't change the sexual dynamics of the pose, but makes them more exotic in caricature.

Golly Bruce writing a webpage on figure drawing ought to bring out the experts with advice, god knows there are enough of them. All the best with it.
The kind of proportional exaggeration I like to see! Always seemed to me that elongation is one of the most effective tools of figure artists. My regards to Kimberly.
