Being pretty far from places that would have live models, I am very fortunate for the people who have agreed to model for me for my portfolio. For both of these, I didn't draw the face for two reasons: 1, my models wanted to remain anonymous. 2, even if they didn't mind, I still would've discluded the faces so that the main focus could be directed to the body.

After completing many sketches of chest bones, I began to admire the symmetry of the clavicle,and the way it joins together with the sternal notch. I liked the way it almost formed a straight line; and especially how it was not a perfect line, but a slight curve. I do enjoy repetition and putting things together to form other shapes or images. In this case, I wanted to repeat the top of the chest to form a square. All 4 of the chest drawings were drawn in different light conditions.

I had my model put her hand on her head. I would of preffered to have some pencils harder than 2H, for more accurate muscle portrayals.
