Peter: good point, decided to spend some time focusing in on rendering the strokes with the form. Thanks for stopping by
Went to two art shows yesterday, but i wasnt selling anything, just to support local friends. we had two models pose during the show and i realized how i was getting a decent lay in but my shading was a total mess. So today i decided to really focus in on shading well, wrapping the form and thinking about the forms. having a sharp pencil makes MASSIVE difference to the mark making, its just irritating to keep it pointed but man its necessary. a fine charcoal or graphite pencil should be able to shade in a gradient and not just small hatching lines; thats how you know its sharp enough.
Also some work on the back on the ecorche, i know how this stuff should look its just hard to control all these new 3d tools, but im getting the hang of it; i get really really frustrated doing it so it must be challenging me in a good way
