Naturally

I had an idea for a drawing based on a favorite photo, and thought I'd get a friend to embody it and do the pose for me, albeit nude (the original was a clothed shot). But in his initial efforts to emulate the look, the pose got a bit stiff and not at all relaxed like I wanted. However, after I showed him the shots, we were able to actually get pose down. Ironically it's a real strain sometimes to get someone to pose naturally. But I think we got it, and the best thing about drawing is I can alter things to my liking to make a better drawing.
