          Silhouettes! I tried these a few times. On paper it’s more interesting.

                      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.

                                  Second pose for the 3 attempts assignment. I’m getting better at this! I getting so many fun ideas for what to draw after all this.

                                      Wait and weight exercise. This ones a little tougher but im finding processes that work.

                                          Ive noticed when i focus less on the anatomy and use the bean and noodle method my gestures communicate way better

                                            @ArtofAleksey I'm really digging the bean and noodle method as well, works with my swoopy sort of linework. It's been interesting to try all the techniques! The "3 Attempts" exercise also produced great results!
