                After today’s critique arena I finished up some more sketches I had been doing of juniper and pip. I am beginning to think that my first spread isn’t showing enough “character” they said gesture is so important and since there’s not much gesture you can do with a “neutral” pose I thought maybe I needed more expression. Any thoughts? Which do you like better? A combination of both?

                  The first page of characters has a great variety of facial expressions. It's looking really cute! Maybe there could be one where she's looking directly at us? One thing I notice about all of these poses is that the torso is pretty much a straight line from hips to shoulders. If that's a style choice, then nevermind, but one of the classes (I forget which one) talked about making bean-shaped torsos, with a curved line of the spine. I feel like you could add a whole other layer of expression, mood, & intention by doing some quickie gesture drawings that play with that.

                    @Valerie-Light thank you for the feedback. I know! 😫I want to play around with gesture a lot more I just don’t want to stray too far from the whole”neutral” thing maybe I can do a sheet that’s completely detached from the contest and just have fun with her because that’s what I really want to do!

                      @Asyas_illos honestly I am taking a lot of liberties with the neutral pose in my Traveler and my Yetis. I don't figure that I'm going to win a contest any time soon, so I'm just trying to make images that feel like good practice for myself and my portfolio. 🤷🏻♀

                          ok I think I’m going with this set. Any feedback?
