Robert Escalera - Turq Diagonal
The Star of the Show
The Pose: The figure, drawn from the waist up (and a bit below), is leaning back dramatically. One arm is raised high above the head, emphasizing a nice sweep of the torso and flank. The other arm is bent and held close to the chest, giving the composition a dynamic, slightly coiled feeling.
The Expression: We get a clear look at the face, which is tilted back with the eyes partially closed and the mouth slightly open.
The figure is mostly nude, but a playful splash of bright blue pastel is used to suggest a small piece of minimal attire, or perhaps just to add a cheeky bit of color to the lower body. It's the only real color pop in the whole piece!
Technical Flirtation
Style: This is a confident, quick sketch—a life drawing executed with bold, gestural lines (likely charcoal or dark pencil). The artist is clearly focused on capturing the movement and energy of the pose rather than fussing over tiny details.
Composition: The figure leans diagonally across the paper, creating a lot of white space that only enhances the drama and isolation of the pose.
