Crouching Figure – trying to keep pain to a minimum

Back in New York and working again. I’ve had some more sessions to work on the sculpture, both drawing and sculpting. I’m trying to get a good grip on the pose and it is changing, right leg coming in, torso longer, head bigger, hips corrected. Still it’s challenging to understand how everything fits together. It makes sense when you look at it but later, it doesn’t always make sense. Also, as it is a tough pose to hold I am trying to minimize the time the model is in the pose. We have tried some other poses that allow her to take some of the pressure off, while keeping the form of particular areas.
