    Oh, just wanted to add that I would never have thought of drawing Skullchaser, but in the end it was really fun and I like this idea of taking a human model pose and making it into a more stylized character.

    Also, I like Skullchaser's flared arms and legs. There's something almost classic 1970s about him and besides, flare is back in style!

      Here are some of the exercises for Lesson 6!

      Beginning and end--I like the pitching one better than the tug of war one:

      360-I had the most fun with the medieval one (though I wasn't so consistent with the drapery), and with all of them, adding the clothes helped me find mistakes in the rotation. In fact, I'm seeing mistakes even now!:

      I recommend this class to anyone, because the exercises are really helpful, especially these last ones!

        @LauraA Ooh nice work on the 360 rotations, they look very believable! I found them fun but super challenging (with mistakes galore) just shows me what I need to practise 😃

            @LauraA I didn’t share mine on the first pass of the course, I gave myself permission to keep things sloppy, loose and quick and the perfectionist in me struggled enough with that without the added pressure of sharing them 😅 Next time!

            @TessaW I just noticed your amazing 360 turnarounds too! Those are some short shorts 😆 I love the creative levels of storytelling you find within the exercises.

              @LauraA Sweet, I love seeing your versions. Omg, you were so good at the beginning and end exercise. Great job on the 360 too! That exercise is insanely hard.

              @Lovsey Hah, thanks! Those shorts are a bit more modest than the Speedos the model is wearing at least. 😅

              Ok, did the 2 person interaction ones.

                Here’s my collection of my best gesture drawings from throughout the course. Wow, there’s so much to learn by viewing everyone else’s work. Thank you everyone for sharing.

                  @tombrinck Very nice! I see you did a lot of contour drawing. And your variations have a lot of personality! I recognize some of those poses!

                  @TessaW I like your takes on the subject matter, as usual!

                    Here is the last practice exercise from Lesson 6, the one with two figures:

                      Back with double figures assignment. This time I tried very hard to loosen up! I selected a blottier brush and went to some old family photos to get more small children in the mix. I also went to the last reference resource, a collection of county fair photos with an amazing variety of humanity!

                      The results are mixed. I actually found the county fair photos so fascinating that I didn't want to vary from them. I may have had a bit more story success with the same couple of models that we have been working from all along. But I enjoyed getting some children in too, and since I want to do children's books, felt it was a good opportunity to practice a bit without getting too perfectionistic.

                      On to the last lesson!
