and then proceeds to progressively longer poses.\u00a0 Some people call quick poses &#8220;warm-ups&#8221;, reflecting the idea that a drawing session is like a workout.\u00a0 For the artist, responding as quickly as possible limbers up the hand-eye coordination.\u00a0 For the model, stretching and twisting wakes up the body and gets the energy flowing, which helps in holding the longer poses to come.\u00a0 Some people call quick poses &#8220;action poses&#8221; or &#8220;gestures&#8221;, because both model and artist strive to project a feeling of movement or expression.<\/p>\n<div

id=\"caption-attachment-1057\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Foot Thrust Back, 2009, by Fred Hatt<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Most figurative artists have a natural inclination to prefer either quick poses or long poses.\u00a0 Many artists in a self-directed practice choose to work on only one or the other.\u00a0 I believe the best thing any artist can do to deepen their life drawing skills is to seriously tackle the type of pose they do not naturally relate to.\u00a0 The energy and efficiency developed through quick drawing practice can significantly enliven a long pose drawing.\u00a0 The sustained attention and notice of subtleties exercised in longer drawings hone the perception that is key to drawing quick poses.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1058\" style=\"width: 358px\" class=\"wp-caption
