The artist wanted to find a subject that displayed a certain emotion in posture & pose . So they found someone at their house was relaxing on the sofa. They used a graphite stick as they believed that they could achieve a better three dimensional form of the person who was lying on the sofa. There are many positive, negative aspects of the life drawing to discuss in depth.
The first aspect that the artist wants to take us through is the muscular anatomy of the person who has been well defined with the use of the clothing & direct lighting. which gave the person a self-shadowed appearance. The artist made sure that he obtain the correct proportions in order to obtain the correct shape of the person. The other reason was to make sure that the person does not seem deformed in any way.
The biggest negative aspect of this sketch is the fact that the sofa was left unshaded . The one aspect that the artist could have done to reduce this figure drawing was to perhaps finish shading the sofa . The reason that the artist did not do this was down to the fact that they ran out of time & did not get to the stage where they could incorporate some cast shadows as well as the highlights in key areas. But other than that the artist is happy that they managed to capture the emotion that the person displayed.
