@skeletortoise i'll post it though it may not be till the April thread.

@Blitz55 wow! Sounds like I've been missing out! I've always wanted to start figure drawing, but haven't made it a priority, but this really motivated me to try to find somewhere to do it soon! I definitely think that learning to really observe something and draw it in using what you see instead of what you picture in your head is an incredible skill to develop. I've always noticed that I have a much easier time drawing from photos, and I think that is because the image is already 'flattened' and framed for me and I don't have to really understand how it sits in space--which is not necessarily a good thing.

Anyways, thank you for the motivation I will try to find a figure drawing class soon!

@LauraA I agree, story telling is quite difficult, and I often find myself drawing stills, or characters that are not really located in space instead of an image that really tells a story, and I want to work on changing that so thank you!

@NickyDrew thank you very much. I appreciate it.

[crispalomino]

@Lisa-Clark Yeah, I agree, tools can be wonderful.

[Blitz55]

@agathe Yeah, I hope you find some place around you that has a regular group. It's so worth it.

@MiaNova Hey

We haven't met -so Hi!!! I am Heather

Really love all your roughs and process. Lots of exuberant energy and creativity! Your ability to create expressive gesture and clear emotion in her face really caught my eye to reply.

@Heather-Boyd Hi Heather! Nice to meet you. Thank you so much for the nice reply it made my day I’m hoping that my character will start to have a permanent design the more I draw her because she looks different every time (happens to all my other characters too )

Did some traditional scribbling finally and I don’t care much for the border, but it gave birth to a new idea which I started on the iPad.

Iteration 2

I like "Iteration 2" with the soccer ball (or futbol) flying forward. The expression & flung out arms of the kid on the left is great!
