Zombie's Book of Sketches

[Eristhe]

Hey hey, some lovely ideas here, seems like you have a fair bit of inspiration and you're thumbnailing to help that. I think what would really help you is study into construction and anatomy of figures. Michael Hampton has an excellent book on this but essentially, try to break up your bodies into 3D forms and apply perspective to them (and later on, do this to the muscles in the body too). Your figures are looking flat because you're observing only the edges of the figure rather than considering the whole form. Keep doing your gestures, try to break your figure work into quick gestures (30 sec - 3 minutes) and longer construction studies (5-15 minutes). Keep it up! : )
