Pose exaggeration study. Started by capturing a pose in simplified geometrical shapes, manipulated those into more dynamic angles, then finally added some anatomy back on.

Two value sculpture study after Jeff Watts. The shadow value came out a bit spotty, but I was overall happy with the proportions

More early mannequinization practice after @prokotv.bsky.social ! I was happy with how dynamic the poses started looking, albeit at the cost of some proportional errors.

An early attempt at a gesture sketch with some basic shadows. I had just recently learned about the different types of shadows and was super excited to try applying them to a real figure!

Some work on shape design and cross-contouring! I intended for the shark to feel sleek and dynamic, while the frog to be friendlier and a bit “heavier” in a sense.

More mannequinization practice! I start by capturing the pose with simple boxes and cylinders in space. Followed by adding secondary forms on top to, well, mannequinize them🌚

Early attempts at combining gesture and structure! Proportions were a struggle, but I was happy they didn't turn out stiff.
