Fedodika the Koala

[Fedodika]

mmkay, so a few things...

This sculpture im gonna crop the bust part out and focus on fixing the horrible likeness lol. My goal was to block out the proportions in digital without using the transform tool and while i did succeed in that, the face suffered me drawing it and examining it well.

With gesture, if a form is totally in profile or appears to be a completely flat shape, pick a slightly different angle and show the dimensionality of the forms. Sure you cant copy the reference exactly, but thats the difference between showing form and copying contours. Copying contour gives flat lifeless drawings, specially if you dont stylize/customize the forms and proportions. 

Photos dont always have the best pose or angle, and you can adjust things to your liking. I tried to show that with a reclining pose in the batch here, its super useful and challenges your fundamentals :)
