Hello. :> It's awesome that you're streatching your limits and working on your weaknesses, I can tell you that you improve HEAPs if you continue doing what you're doing. I'll give you some tips with the dynamic pose, I can redline if you'd like, just ask. Everything has a really nice shape, which shows you have a good knowledge of anatomy. The torso, from her waist to her shoulders is too big compared to the rest of her body. This would be because of the foreshortening which sometimes tricks us into exaggerating things too much. Her right arm is a bit to short, a way I remember is that the elbow comes down to the waist, and the forearm is the same length as the upper arm. Her left leg is also a bit short. Even though it's foreshortened it's still a bit longer. Don't give up though, you've got some serious potential and you're well on your way. The newest picture makes me all happy inside. Drawing from life is the coolest thing ever, and a lot of people just won't do it. It's also really good to take a picture of the thing to self critique later. (In fact I may just start doing it) As for critique, I suggest making your shadows even DARKER. I know that can be scary, but try to make it really black in some places, as black as the charcoal will let you. Things like the inside of the top. If you have it really dark just where it meets the light, and then going up getting lighter and lighter, you will be able to create a real sense of form. I suggest experimenting with differnt strokes and such as charcoal is a great medium to have a lot of fun with. Try smudging it with a rag, and going back over it with vertical strokes to create the texture of the top brown bit. Or,use little flecks to give the texture of the wood. It's really unlimited possiblilities we're talking about here. I find it helps when working with traditional stuff is to google up pictures by other people in the same medium. Then you can try out their techniques and get some really cool effects. Holy Crap that was long. Sorry, I just tend to talk a lot about traditional mediums. They are so undervalued. razz You're doing well! Good luck!
