    I can't help wondering what is retreating from?
    That posture suggests he is seriously afraid of something or someone...I am so wanting to turn and look behind me...to see if I am in danger too.
    Do you see how powerful your sketches are? ☺☺

      Not sure what a powerful sketch is?
      The session was long enough ago that I don’t remember why the odd poses. It has been passed over all this time, because I could never think of a title..

    I guess, for me, the power is in the effect the sketch has upon my perception.
    The moment I set eyes upon this one, I felt uneasy. What was he looking at behind me...

      Maybe whoever was drawing next to me looked intimidating? As I said, I don’t remember now. Some artists can be pretty scary☺
