Sixty-One


















This is the type of pose where I definitely would've avoided drawing the face 20 years ago. The foreshortening of the body was enough of a challenge and I could just let the head fade off into the distance at the other end.

I remember thinking, back then, that leaving the face out, or making it a dramatic smear of charcoal or dark silhouette, was making some sort of a statement, like "Who are we really anyway?" But really I did it because I didn't know how to draw the face.
