Drop-In Figure Drawing

ID: A collage of three figure drawings. The left-most picture is a detailed figure drawing of a woman facing away from the artist's point of view, sitting down on a cushion and hugging a knee to her chest. The picture in the center is simple and only lines, and depicts a woman standing up facing the right with her arms above her head and her elbows bent. The right is a detailed drawing of a woman laying down with a stomach over her arm. END ID.
