On this one i try to go with more asymmetry. Front facing pose are relaxing to do but they rarely yield great result in dynamism something that isn't the goal here.Do you think the image is still to big for crimson dagger format?

*Note to myself try to varie the shape of the muscle to make it feel more organic the body isn't a machine they will always be a dominate side.

Hey dark, good to see more work and less studies (as wrong as that sounds), just basing this off what you said about more asymmetry — I can see the details are asymmetrical but the body is entirely symmetrical, again and to xelfereht's point, not sure what you're working towards.

I think my advice would be to be a bit braver with your poses, try sketching different poses and challenging yourself with overlapping forms.

The gestures of the cat look great by the way.

Well i will keep the hard stuff for my study and i do easier thing to relax on the side.But i think the sketchbook really need to start to transpire concept art i think right not it not going in that direction and it need to be address.I need more exercise where i tackle design challengebecause right now i been going off that route i want to do more quick sketch less thigh and clean and more thumbnail.Also i want to be better at representing 3d object with 2d flat silhouette.For posing i am really not sure as to how far i am gonna push that aspect i have address that in word previously nt if you miss it maybe take a look.For a design stand point avoiding the unnecessary challenge that perspective impose is for me the right way to approch design in a focus fashion but it doesn,t mean i shouldn't be able to draw them in 3/4 view with more dynamic pose it just that the overlap in general is the enemy of clarity since my work is the early stage of an idea is than pass to other people down the pipeline.I am sure i will still be able create overlapping but maybe not in the dynamic way other artistic path would consider dynamism.
