Chalk studies (26.01.24)

Hello and good morning, Valo. Great job on your chalk gestures of your figure sketches. They sorta remind me of the females drawn by Egon Schiele. I love the linear economy of the poses with bent legs and arms. I also love the perspective and foreshortening on those appendages. Yet, I'm not enjoying enough of that expressive quality to your mark making. Would you mind if I suggested if you would go for really exaggerated edges in your figures, using the sides of your pastels, instead of their tips?

The reason is because you can, shall, and in the future, will have gone somewhere with your marches of progress, if you had to go for real custom-made goals. For more curiosities, kindly look into Action! Cartooning, and Fantasy Cartooning,all by Ben Caldwell, on Amazon and eBay.

Let's hope you've found these completely satisfying.

Hey ! Great work, 3 minutes each, that is very good, proportions, dynamic poses, cloths details, everything.

I can't think of a way to help you here. Maybe adding more details from that point could be a great way to keep practicing ? Like face expression, shades and shadows on the floor, more cloth details.

Thank you for sharing !
