smrrfette's Odyssey

[Kimonas]

Man you are doing some great faces recently - phenomenal improvement since the beginning of your sketch book. I think you might make some progress with your figures looking at Hamptons book and working through it. It helped me a lot. Your anatomy is looking good, but i think you need to work on your gestures. Try having a gesture in mind before putting it down. Its mega important to be able to put a gesture down which looks as if it has purpose, otherwise, if you are developing a figure - it can put hours of work to waste. Crazy how the first 30 seconds of an illustration can make a big difference?

Oh and - remember perspective when doing your gestures! think about it when practicing!

I dont want to detract though from all the hard work your doing - its just something i feel will make you stronger if you focus on it a bit more.

All the best!
