been working on some more sketches of juniper and pip trying out different poses and expressions .

haha love her facial expression on the right. She's definitely got personality.
-
@K-Flagg I just love her at this point! Maybe form a story around her...?

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.

@Valerie-Light good point
-
ok I think I’m going with this set. Any feedback?
