Thanks so much guys!
@Jyonny -- I find I work best when I set a very tight deadline, and usually have to have someone held accountable for it haha. Try it! You can always go back to a piece after the rush and tweak things later :)
Here are some sloppy sketchbook scans.
Anatomy notes after Hampton and Aaron Blaise. I'm focusing on mostly-- simplifying forms right now, getting proportions back in order and establishing a better figure flow. I'm interested in mechanics and balance, two things I'm really weakest at.
Life drawing night yesterday! I haven't started on leg muscle groups yet, but that's it, guys. That's all I needed to look at to figure out my "floaty figure" problem. I'm now actually excited to tackle legs & feet and start constructing my own figures. Definitely helped that the model was very bony! I could see how all the bones and diagonals stacked on one another and how curves made up the form.
