Mass Effect

Tricked ya! This isn't about space RPG's, it's about depicting mass and volume on a 2D plane. What can I say about that though... it's frelling difficult. However I feel rewarded today in that I believe the effect of mass on the body is present in these figure drawings.

I had to slow myself down today and started to think more about the individual lines I was placing as they navigated the circumference of the body. It's new to me but it's a step, one of the many I've taken and will be taking. The following are a gesture drawing and two approximately half hour poses.
