Figure stuff today. Watched Anthony Jones's videos called 'approachable anatomy', has a really cool technique for posing characters using dots to pre-visualise for the elbows / shoulders / wrists / knees / etc, then when it's set you fill in between and get some nice overlaps and foreshortening going on. Been trying that a bit - trying to draw more from imagination too since my colour figure below looks ok, few problems but mainly there is no life to it - it looks like what it is, which is a pose copied from a photo. Need to get some more feeling and emotion into these figures, which won't work if it's just a photo I don't feel a connection to. Working on that!
