Week 7 - Life Drawing - Dynamic poses

This is my directed study on dynamic poses. There are 10 sketches of little children playing in shallow water (seemed the only way to get an action different from walking or running). N1 is a completely open pose, with both arms and legs spread apart, while walking and waving. N2 and N3 are very similar, both closed in the legs, but N2 is also closed in the upper body part, unlike N3. This also makes N3 more dynamic, as the arm pointing back suggests that there is already movement upwards. N5 also shows a dynamic pose, mostly because of the uncomfortable angle of the legs (kept almost straight, while bended forward). N7 is a completely open and dynamic pose. With one leg far ahead, both arms spread out and at different angles, it is clear that this is not a position held for long. N9 seems like a closed, dynamic pose, when instead it was very static in real life (it is a study of the "being carried around by an elderly" action).
