Dynamic figure drawing

Page 59

There are times when a notation sketch is placed on the work surface in its final large size, rather than in a smaller size. In this case, the same sketch idea is carried through, without interruption, in a continuous sequence from probing to finish. The advantage of this second method is that the'"sudden vision" or "inspiration" of the first

sketch has such a concentrated visual impact that the figure will go flat, or stale, if its development is inhibited. In this illustration, a group of figures, from small to increasingly larger sizes, have been sketched in a spiral pattern which evolves to a center workup. 1RWH size is no bar to carrying a spontaneous notation to its final stage.
