        I'm going to study from still life for perspective, my brain is empty of basic shapes right now
        after last attempt, wanted to know how to cast shadows accurately so did this

        finally a badly drawn thumbnail idea for next challenge, I will have to build somethings and take pictures, to refer at it

          much better with the 3 point drawing!

          the thumbnail is a good idea, I'd just play with the perspective and angles a bit more. I can see the stalk growing up from the ground which is awesome, but then it crosses the picture plane horizontally which tends to make things look stable. That's the last thing you want in this piece. If you really want to make him feel like he's dangling, thing about changing that stalk shape and really dangling your character precariously from it.

              I like your new sketch...it gives the feeling that the character is in peril.

                  I the pose is really good, make sure you put plenty of atmospheric perspective with in it.

                  Never give up, always push yourself two steps further than you believe you can go.

                          So true... All these kids stories from back in the day are so odd when you think about it.

                              I think I'm not gonna render it, instead, i'll do more linework with just a soft plain colors with gradiation. :l

                                            Can't do it as I want, my feels r worse than hers haha
                                            might restart from lineart as I have a disability to keep working over things already there, this does not happen me while I draw, just when I paint 😞 atm I feel like I need brain surgery haha
