Lance's Juicy Fruity Sketchbook

Hell yes, nice update! Them brushes and them hips (I need to study them too!), very nice variation of subjects, keep at it man.

On your demon, if you don't mind I did some scratches to it.
Disclaimer: I'm no pro, and it's fine to not take my opinion seriously, the most important thing is what you feel about your painting, this is me trying to think like how you think and I'll never be able to do that 100%.


I tried to not mess too much with it, the rendering is superb but I feel like he's waaay too stiff for the pose he is making, it doesn't seem like he's thrusting his arm backwards because the chest is completely sideways, on this on I twisted it a bit to the viewer, showing his other pec.
His far arm is way too low for the pose too, if you make the same gesture yourself you'll notice that your deltoid basically touches your ear and your elbow will always be the same height as the top of your head when lifted straight up (not exact science but it's close).
And lastly because his chest is forward the head needs to follow it or it would be waaay back in the distance.


Now this is what I'd suggest, his twist is way more pronounced (you can say that pose is impossible, but honestly we try to draw interesting things not just realistic) but you can really feel the thrust into his gesture.

Hope it helps, and keep at it!
