Posing in Chinese

Tonight's model was new to our group. She was very thin, with long limbs. Models with such a build are not always interesting to draw, but this one made it work, taking a lot of closed poses and otherwise positioning those long arms and legs in interesting ways. The top photo is a 3 minute pencil sketch. Another artist there tonight described the drawing as looking like Chinese writing. Not a farfetched idea, since some of the basic Chinese characters were derived from images of the things they represented, but I have no idea what concept might be represented by this pose. I did 3 short pencil sketches and 4 charcoal sketches, about 15 minutes each, the best of which is shown above in the second photo.
