_spec's stinky sketchbook

[_spec]

nice job on the explorer! that could definitely be a portfolio piece, it has good story and the gesture is believable and good stylization. I wouldnt really change anything about it, but i guess i'll challenge your conceptual mind... what are other ways of exploring or showing that gesture of being lost on a map? Think of all the different little ways a cartoon character could get hung up on that subject... try all those variations in quick sketches and ideas.

youre good at showing a lot of story with no mouth or nose, try to push that even further ;) its gonna have to be with the body

Thank you :) And that's a good direction to move in for sure. Because of how I like to simplify the face, I should def make up for it in other areas. If anything this is a good sign to pick up the pace on my anatomy and gesture studies!

Quick heavypaint still life for today. I actually made a GIF of my process time lapse but I can't attach it :(
Anyone know how to post gifs in a thread by any chance?
