finished piece 1- life drawing 

here we have a completed life drawing, the picture is mainly from the torso to the head and doesn't really show any of the legs so we don't get  much sense of balance or weight with this image as the legs aren't a part of this drawing. we get a good sense of the pose, you can see the model is at an angle, facing her right shoulder towards the viewer, we even the angle of the head and some emotion in the drawing. there is some foreshortening in the picture, the left shoulder is angled away from the viewer which creates a foreshorten effect. 

shading is used well its not just used for light and dark values of the image but to show certain parts of the body such as bone structure around the neck, we get good sense of the clavicle in this drawing as the clavicle is has darker values to show that the clavicle are clearly visible in the model. the shading is mainly around the edge of the model, this helps to create the illusion of 3D rather the picture looking flat this is evident around the left of the image, you can see the shading around the body and also the thick lines around the body does help to make the drawing much more 3 dimensional.       

there are some improvements to be made first the hands looks far to square and doesn't look very natural, the face could use some improving make it look more realistic. around the breast there are far to many hairy lines and take away from the curves of the breasts. it also could used some light shading around the abdominals.
