Fedodika the Koala

[darktiste]

Darkiste: thx :) i was going for more a floating thing, or leaping. I like the idea of flying or levitating subjects, more surreal

Spent about 4 hrs on this one today, entirely from imagination, i didnt even peek at any reference or inspiration. Tomorrow im gonna get back to reference, gonna go for five whole vids and executions tomorrow, wishing myself luck, which i dont believe in!

What the obsession with no ref if it speed the process.I think you should just limit the time you spend on searching ref.I think a good exercise is too take a ref and than try to redo it from an other angle or try to push the pose or try get inspired by a pose.Did you made some gesture exercise?

Here a quick critic for the last piece in think you can try to clarify the silhouette inside the space indicate try to avoid to much grouping of the limb near the body it doesn't help the eye to rest it become noisy.

I think if you didn't you want to explore the gesture before choosing to commit to push the exagerration of a pose and come up with the best idea.
