These were probably one minute poses, or, possibly thirty second poses. These quick poses are used at the beginning of a drawing session to loosen up the artists and get them concentrating on drawing the overall pose or form before getting lost in detail. They are frequently an artist's best work over a drawing session. They are seldom or never overworked or pretentious. At their best they give you the figuartive artist's most concentrated form of expression.
