'Attempts at the advancing feet': drawing Robin on January 8th 2015

The start of a new year of life-drawing, but nothing new emerging yet  (I'm posting these drawings on February 4th, so I know what's coming in the next posting, and with that knowledge I can reveal that I do sense a a new phase has started, but more on that next time).
As for these six drawings, apart from the first one, a common issue may be summerised as, a) the advancing hand or foot, b) foreshortening, c) exaggerating that which is nearest. In the second drawing it should be clear what I am attempting, althought the execution of the actual drawing of the hands and feet are somewhat crude. On the other hand I am pleased with the final drawing in which I have introduced a contrasting weight of line between the near and distant parts of the pose.
As usual, all are two-handed pencil drawings on A1 cartridge paper.
