        @xin-li i think it was an exercise, when you look at a person, try to memorize as many features about them, their mood, their clothes, accessories, age, etc, then go redraw it with what you remember

                        My bean and noodle assignments. The last pose i wanted to raise one of the legs but it felt really off to look at so i did the pose and realized that the body would have to shift to one side for that leg to be up so i put the leg down.

                          So trying the shape thing. I think I should play with it a bit more with the triangle shape thing, it’s a bit tough for me.

                                            I think this is wonderful, your characters are full of life. You’ve motivated me to finish up composition class to get started on this class.
