Vaguely Matisse style figure drawing




I'm submitting these two drawings for Illustration Friday
This weeks topic is 'Poise'
The top one was sketched by looking only at the model, not at the page and done quite quickly.I love this exercise, the results are always interesting and funny.
And then I photoshopped the original in a vague sort of Matisse style
I did the second drawing from a photo of a fashion model in a magazine, I just liked her poise.

Oh, I love contour drawing, that's what that's called, right? It's terrific. And the drawing of the fashion model is very expressive, something in her eyes, she does have a lot of poise...

Ooooh, you're good! I can't believe you did that without looking at the page! And the fashion model is gorgeous! Lovely shading, and she DOES have excellent poise.
