Made a rig sketeton and main form masses (thanks to Teryl Witlatch for this technique from the the free Creatures of Amalthea course, will definitely use more from this course).
Made 9 sketches today, you don't want to see the first ones, but then something clicked and I applied everything I've learned about construction drawing and gesture by now. Sloppy as those sketches may be, it's something important for me. I based on my cat's movements but changed them to follow the desired rhytm, so those are not copies. It was the first time that I rotated simplified forms kind of mindfully in my head. Going to do more of them sketches, be more accurate, exaggerate，keep in mind perspective and visualise stuff.
