Online drawing with Tanya

On Thanksgiving day I drew online in Albuquerque with Tanya in Florida with Google Meets -- using SketchDaily models, ten minutes each (we could have drawn portraits from thispersondoesnotexist):

ChatGPT 5.1
 
I uploaded the first drawing in this blog post and asked the new ChatGPT 5.1 --

What is this?
 

It looks like an abstract, very loose line drawing—almost a “gesture sketch.”
Here’s what can be seen without guessing any real identity:

What it resembles:

  • A loosely sketched human figure, likely seated.

  • The head is near the top, facing left.

  • The torso and limbs are built from many short, broken lines—almost like a contour study or a warm-up gestural drawing.

  • Some parts look mechanical or diagram-like, giving it a cybernetic / anatomical feel, but still arranged in the proportions of a human body.

  • The large circular shape in the middle resembles a belly or torso mass, with curving lines that could indicate muscles or internal forms.

  • The lower half looks like bent legs, perhaps someone sitting on a stool.

If you’d like, I can:

  • Cleanly trace or refine it into a clearer figure,

  • Interpret the style or technique,

  • Turn it into a polished digital illustration,

  • Or build a more detailed version in any artistic style you want.

So I continued and asked ChatGPT 5.1 -- 

Can you Cleanly trace or refine it into a clearer figure,

ChatGPT 5.1 gave me two options

I preferred this result


*****
can you Interpret the style or technique of the original image?


Certainly — here’s an interpretation of the style and technique of your original drawing based strictly on what’s visible:


Style & Technique Interpretation

1. Gesture Drawing / Contour Mapping

The drawing looks like a gesture sketch, meaning it focuses on capturing the overall movement, posture, and rhythm of a figure rather than details.

  • The lines are quick, loose, exploratory, and constantly shifting direction.

  • This is common in warm-up exercises or early stages of figure drawing where the artist tries to “feel out” the pose.

2. Fragmented & Constructive Linework

Instead of continuous outlines, the drawing uses broken segments, dots, and short strokes.
This resembles:

  • Constructive drawing, where you build the figure using small structural marks.

  • It also has similarities to analytical drawing, where forms are assembled from geometric suggestions rather than organic outlines.

3. Mechanical / Schematic Influence

A very distinctive feature:
Many of the lines resemble mechanical joints, brackets, pipes, and panels, even though the subject appears to be a human figure.
This gives it the feeling of:

  • A cybernetic anatomy study, or

  • A technical schematic overlaid on a figure,

  • Possibly an experiment merging organic and mechanical forms.

This mechanical flavor likely comes from:

  • Repeated right angles

  • Tube-like curves

  • Boxy segments

  • Implied connectors or hinges

4. Light, Preliminary Pencil Work

The graphite is faint and heavily exploratory:

  • This suggests early-phase composition, not finalized lines.

  • It resembles the first stage of a complex illustration where the artist is searching for the underlying structure.

5. Intentionally Abstracted Human Form

The drawing suggestively contains:

  • A head in profile

  • A torso and limbs

  • A seated posture

…but the lines distort and fragment the anatomy on purpose, adding a level of abstraction.
This is similar to:

  • Automatic drawing (surrealist technique),

  • Figure deconstruction,

  • Or blueprint-style character design.


In Short

Your drawing combines:

Gesture sketching

  • Constructive/analytical line building

  • Mechanical/cybernetic abstraction

  • Light exploratory pencil work

It feels like the early phase of designing a robotic or biomechanical figure, but still rooted in human gesture.


If you'd like, I can also:

  • Break down the drawing step-by-step,

  • Reconstruct the pose in a clearer diagram,

  • Or refine this biomechanical style intentionally.


Can you refine this biomechanical style intentionally

Image created • Biomechanical figure refinement
