Comic-style
If you look through my sketchbook, you’ll find that I have been working towards accurate depiction of the human body, including anatomically correct proportions, muscles, and bones. I started this piece intending it to be another one of these explorations of human anatomy, but as I drew I realized that I could draw clothes on the body (which is unusual for me), and ones that are accurate as well. The drawing developed into something of a comic-book style that I hadn’t been aware I was capable of.
But I wasn’t comfortable drawing in a face, so I left it faceless as I do many of my drawings. I also much like the simplicity and the anonymous feeling that faceless drawings give, as the face is a deliverer of a wealth of information, whether it be correct or not. I like to believe that leaving it without a face leaves the viewer to see the represented more clearly than with a face.
But that could also be an excuse to leave the drawing unscathed by eraser smudges and deep scars in the facial area, as it usually develops that way.
