Sketchbook stuff.

Been dealing with some back trouble (Yoga is helping a lot), so not much drawing lately aside from just some doodling in my sketchbook.

I especially love how you do the hair in the last image... I can feel the "swing" in the shape! It looked so kool!!

Thank you!

These look great! I love your hands. Only thing I'd say is watch the head size compared to the body in the 2nd and 3rd image. I think you could also start putting your figures in scenes (sitting in a chair, leaning against a tree, interacting with other characters, etc.
As for back trouble, is it just trouble sitting? I like lying on my belly on the floor (maybe with a pillow under the hips) like a sphinx for small drawings and standing up at an easel for big drawings.

Yeah, I use an easel some, but I've not tried the sphinx position, il give that a shot. It's really a hip flexor issue and most of the deferred pain into my back is gone. Thanks for the suggestions.
As for scenes I do that too, but those are all just quick little 5x8 doodles. I agree I could vary the poses more to practice more varied actions.
