Homework #8 -- Combat! Part 1

    •    Read all or most of the Text
    •    Complete 1 line drawing in good proportion.

Your drawing must show two people in hand-to-hand combat. Your characters may be engaged in a fist fight, a play fight, brawl or wrestling match. There should be no weapons involved. Poses should feel authentic and have movement. Identify the general thrust/direction line to your attacking and defensive poses.
Your characters should be drawn without clothes.
You may use reference as inspiration for the pose you choose but make your drawing in different perspective from your source.

This drawing should be roughly 10" x 10", neat with, strong simple contour lines.
Take the time you need to perfect the anatomy, proportion and foreshortening of various body parts. When finished, set your drawing aside and reassess it the next day.

More pix and detail in this earlier version of this post. But getting your own additional ref is highly recommended.
