These are my favourite drawings from a recent life drawing session. They aren’t particularly accurate, i’ve elongated parts of the body and missed out a lot of features, such as the feet and facial features. Does this distortion make her less susceptible to being subjected to the Male Gaze? (Featured in Laura Mulvey’s Narrative Cinema and Visual Pleasures)
Are these drawings nice to look at, or is the viewer left feeling uncomfortable because the images aren’t proportionally accurate or perfect?
Another idea to explore. These drawings could be taken further by embroidering them on top of a painting or onto a wall hanging.
