Action anatomy week, swimming. Some nice perspective shots but fewer variety to those shots than I expected.

Day 1 - Drawing from imagination​

It quickly became obvious that foreshortening and proportion length would be the main difficulty with these.

Day 2 - Figure sketching​

Quick hand sketches using references

Day 3 - Reference studies​

Day 4 - Style studies​

Reference options were pretty slim, I wasn't excited about these but once I started I appreciated the simplicity of the art. Made it easier to think about flowing lines which felt like an important feature to keep the movement looking fluid.

Reference: Vintage swimming instructional illustration and Print by Penelope and the Ducks.

Reference: A page from the comic Le Goût du Chlore by Bastien Vivès

Day 5 - Drawing from imagination​

Conclusion​

Rushed the last few days into the week as I got hit pretty hard by a vaccine reaction. And this coming week is busy with going into the office so I may not have a WAP for next week.
