Prepare to Draw chapter 4
This drawing is a spontaneous response to a figure in motion. The weight of the body is carried by the left leg, but is about to
be transferred to the right leg. This motion is skillfully realized by the almost continuous angled, dark, and thick mark along
the torso and on the left side of the body. There is no one continuous line in this figure; rather, the line is broken into differ-
ent marks, which nicely convey the sense of action. The marks arching out from the left leg reinforce this impression of a for-
ward motion.
