Lance's Juicy Fruity Sketchbook

[JyonnyNovice]

Hey man, just wanted to say thanks for all your support and comments on my sketchbook, really motivates me and gets me through the low points. I'm always checking here but don't have too much say, too busy just saying 'wow' as I flick through : )

I can offer my opinion on your minotaur piece so far though - don't get me wrong it looks stunning, the colours and the scene and the idea - but for me the minotaurs pose really jars with my kind of mental story that I get from this; he looks like he is posing for a painting, it kind of stops me from trying to discover a narrative - like I feel he isn't guarding the place, since he looks quite laid back, and I feel he isn't there relaxing because his pose seems too 'held'. It's kind of awkward to sit like that, it'd hurt your arm after a while and he is in danger of sliding off.

I reckon the story would come out more if he was either stood to attention, looking menacing with his spear, or if he was like totally just kicking back, spear close by but laying on his back on the wall, legs dangling, maybe snoozing... I dunno! Do you get me? XD

Sorry if that came across harsh at all! I know it's a WIP as well! I'm just enthusiastic at finding something to comment on haha

Anyway, all the best mate!
