Here, the attention is on the body without a room or other objects around it. I’m standing in my underwear, with my head lowered and my arms hanging at my sides. The open paper leaves the posture, anatomy, and marks to carry the drawing.
In my self-portraits, I’ve been thinking about how much the choice between nudity and underwear changes an image. Covering part of the body doesn’t necessarily make it feel less exposed. This drawing offers another way to consider that question, with the figure presented on its own rather than within a larger scene.
The crayon moves between contour lines and grainy patches of shading. Curving marks describe the chest and belly, while darker accents give definition to the face, hands, and waistband. Other passages remain light and open. I’m interested in how those different kinds of marks can suggest the structure and weight of a body without describing every part to the same degree.
The figure sits toward the left, leaving a broad area of untouched paper on the right. The downward angle of the head and the long shapes of the arms establish the pose. There’s no additional setting to explain what I’m doing or feeling. The drawing keeps the emphasis on looking at the body and on the choices involved in representing it.
