Fedodika the Koala

Xebro: Thanks man i really tried to apply your suggestions today the best i could. I watched some Vilppu vids on drawing figures with boxes specifically from very lightly defined gestures and I can see a lot of things i didn't see before. It made me think more about how each individual limb can be curved or balanced in space or sit on a certain spot. Also I began thinking out loud while I was drawing, and like I hadn't really done that before; trying to push certain aspects or limbs to be more attractive by moving them slightly or deepening their gesture lines/overlaps. 

Vilppu has some interesting ideas about gesture, and he shows how old masters have very crude initial drawings just to block compositions and show the idea. Gesture essentially is the idea and the fundamentals are what make the idea interesting and noteworthy, no matter how mundane the subject matter may be. 

Dont know what I'll do tomorrow, maybe watch some more vilppu vids about figure drawing because I like how he explains things and his process. I get more out of them now that I see the value in the basics hes explaining and not just assuming I know them already. I also feel like my taste is getting more refined, as I'm enjoying things about classical art I never noticed before and paying more attention to the subtleties of basic forms/lines and rythms. I bet if I read that sentence 2 years ago I'd think it was a load of crap and vague or meaningless or something. 

Also got painter working, it was just resetting the thing to default, fixed it real quick!
