I loved the tutorial a lot and I love drawing reclined poses. When I manage them successfully they look so interesting. Unfortunately sometimes I feel like there is nothing to draw cause the model is so crouched that I see nothing but the back and a bit of a butt. Or sometimes they just lay down straight with no twist or bend and I'm completely lost. I guess I should change angle in such cases to at least get some interesting foreshortening but I don't want to do that with a heave metallic easel we have in Nepean Visual Arts Centre. So I just cry, hurt and continue eating that cactus (drawing what I see). Should I just chill out about this?
