Which of the 3 concepts would you like to see brought to final?

Darktiste: Thank you so much for that input and so promptly, it means a lot. I took your suggestions into consideration and came up with the following. Now I'm trying to narrow things down.

You got a natural affinity for expressive gesture but i suggest spending more time learning to learn how to ''wrap'' object around surface some of the belt and cloth seem a bit to flat.Also properly following the centerline of an object would help because right now the ''spoon'' sorry my english ain't super.So anyway what i was saying is that the spoon was mess up because the ellipse are in the wrong degre you can tell because they are contradicting the centerline of the ''spoon'' have you heard of the major and minor axis?

More convincing foot wear would also improve the overall work.Take time to find reference but try to give yourself a timeline not to over reference because it can kill motivation(seeing to many good artist) or overwhelm you(to many idea).

I think the most coherent design is 1 but it doesn't mean you can't fix any of the two other.

Darktiste: Thank you so much and I enjoy the process of gesture drawing figures. Would you mind doing a paint over of the most problematic area of wrapping so I can better understand what you are mentioning visually? It's ok =) your English is not that bad, I understand what you are writing, but if it is better for you to write in your native language I wouldn't mind using a translator to read your messages, unless you prefer the English practice.

In regards to the major and minor axis situation I do remember this from math class although the formulas are blurry. I know the major axis follows the y aspect of the ellipse which represents the longer side, and the minor axis represents x which is the smaller side of an ellipse. I do understand what you are saying how the spoons are not perfect and the ellipses are off, I noticed this while drawing it and actually decided to keep it to maybe make for a more worn/ warped older utensil look.I will see to making corrections in the the re-work.

I agree on the foot wear and was thinking the same thing. I did kind of keep it basic for the primary reason of not drawing too much attention to that area but it might be something to definitely better some. Yes the referencing can become overwhelming but it is up to us how far to take it. I'm very glad you are liking #1 and I will go ahead and work more on that one. If time permits I will definitely get back into the other two as well.

Thank you so much again for the input and feel free to paint over any of my images or write me in your native language if that makes communication easier.
