A1 plotted portrait of five poses from the same model, who wears one fewer item of clothing in each subsequent pose

These poses were drawn using horizontal and vertical lines that were allowed to ‘wobble’ from their centre points, with the amount of wobble controlled by the tone in the original photos.
