ABSTRACT
To stand comfortably the body has to be in balance; body language communicates the actions, while negative and positive shapes contribute too. Some stand in the wind, some stand to get a better view of a painting, and some stand to model. To hold a microphone (Mic) means artist have something to say, whether behind a podium or standing alone. Capturing a subject while he or she is simply standing sounds easy, but artist must utilize proper balance to capture the weight of a subject. Entertainers speak volumes with their bodies, and give the shy woman a Mic and out comes the alter ego—be ready to capture this on paper! The costume props and body types that wear the costumes offer wonderful challenges to the sketcher. Along with the camera, video equipment and body types, the artist is challenged to capture the individuality of the subject as they use the prop.
