Initially intended as a practice drawing for interesting colour work, I also thought I'd practice depicting a more dynamic pose than I usually draw. Occupying me between July and September 2018 (with a fair break in the middle), this drawing expanded beyond my initial plan for a simple sketch to a more fleshed-out image, combining flat linework with gradual shading. With some much-appreciated guidance along the way, I managed to create something I'm relatively proud of, and I look forward to more colour and pose experimentation in future.
