 Update on Projects in Progress

Poses are hard, especially action poses. You need the proper proportions and foreshortening alongside an interesting and balanced position.

Often times I'll not know what to do with the back arm.     Fleshing out and adding interesting clothing can be challenging as well. The face is always the worst so I try to add it first thing after the figure. Inventing new styles of clothing for futuristic and fantasy races involves a lot of knowledge and planning.
