I started with the shoes, as usual. Without looking at the paper, I moved my pen in concert with my eye: up one leg, a left at the trouser cuff, up some more, a twist and down the crossed leg to the other shoe. Everything was fine until the relaxed man suddenly hunched over and rested his arms on his legs, both now firmly planted on the floor. I did not want to start over, so I drew the top half of the man in the new position.
I like the result.

I love it. There’s such a personality here.
Thank you Claudia. The personality may be due to grafting of the cross-legged lower half with the hunched over upper.
Yes, it’s the way they combine, the whole is so much greater than the sum of the parts, if you know what I mean. It’s great.
Thank you, Claudia. I value your remarks.
