Term2 - LifeDrawing - Skeleton Assignment

I was fairly happy with how the limbs turned out, but the ribcage could have been done better, and I still hate how the skull turned out (I can draw stylized ones all I like, but for some reason I struggle with the realistic depiction even now...)



I originally chose the one with the skeleton reverse(?)-grinding the pole, but the teacher said that it was not very dignifying, and that I should try and find a 'more graceful' action :)

The action I did choose is okay, but I was not very decisive. It's half-way between being mid-swing, and hanging off it. Since both of those are quite different in their execution - and in how to go about pushing the pose, I ended up with a fairly weak action overall.


Oh yeah, it's supposed to be a firewoman on a pole ;).

I should note that without colour, the hair and outfit is too busy - and detracts from the pose even more... Still, I think I did a decent job on the skeleton itself.
