I tried to exaggerate the length of the legs and arms in the name of elegance, but it backfired due to the longer, straighter lines. There were a few moments that really humbled me and so I will go back to study more anatomy!

Getting into the big leagues with this one, getting more complex which is a good thing. moments of this I felt like swimming other moments paddling but got there in the end here is my take any feedback is always appreciated

Just having fun

I have a few proportional issues and probably other issues but I like how it’s going so far. I really like the process and I feel like it’s already made me much better than I was before. However, I feel like I’m constantly having to pause the video to resharpen my willow charcoal stick. @Patrick Jones is that how willow charcoal is or am I just too heavy handed with it? I’m using soft willow charcoal btw.

Still being stubborn and insisting on doing it digitally. I think I figured out the tools to mimic what Patrick is doing, except still struggling with making smudging look even a little bit as natural as it does with charcoal.

I should have drawn it bigger. It’s hard to get the details on the hands at this scale.

@Patrick Jones Hi Patrick. I’m really enjoying the course. Is the a link to the reference photos? Thank you.
