Fox stretch WIP 2
struggled just a little with posing the body, more so her right arm. in a previous sketch the right arm was posed exactly like her left as to not show her right paw/hand. this troubled me as I always like to show an opposable thumb as a context clue that the creature is not just feral. I made her right arm reach diagonally and perpendicular to her ...

Just the rear end, I spent more time looking at some muscle diagrams than sketching with this project. in particular, quadruped hamstrings and glutes. I already knew how they were built some what but I wanted to know the subtle differences. quadrupeds have large hamstrings compared too their glutes unlike with humans that are other way around. the ...

Poll ends tomorrow at 2:30pm. I will make sure, to make sure to preempt these polls, so there is more time to vote next time!

The cat stretch poll won, this means face down bottoms up.
Want to start painting tomorrow so this one is a quick poll! also short as these are some of the creatures I want to try out in this pose.
Any questions or thoughts about the upcoming project? let me know!
Male brown bear
Done! This project felt so natural for some reason, I sometimes have hang ups where I am stuck or afraid to approach a certain area when painting, but that did not really happen with this project. I often find myself slowly focusing on little details here and there on tiny tufts of fur that take me hours to paint. very often I stop to think if I sh...

Some poses for my next project. not sure about the species yet. With these posses, whatever might win, I plan on a rear focus, so through camera angle or perhaps a twist of the body I plan on bringing the butt in focus.

This one is going very well! I feel like I could finish this today at the rate I am going but I want to pace myself. I am sure I can finish this tomorrow or at least get it to a polishing stage.

Brown bear WIP 5
Had a very unproductive day today. not sure if I got a bug or something but I felt very fatigued. I was able to figure out the texture of the sheets however. I like how they are turning out and I feel that I am getting better at fabric.
still want to finish this one before the end of the month.
Brown bear WIP 4
got the body and the arm going. I feel that the subject wont be to hard to paint but I am a little worried about making the sheets and pillows look nice.

pacing myself. just the head. next is the body and one on the arms perhaps.

Much more refined sketch. thinking I will start on a stream Thursday.

Super ugly rough sketch. there is a whole bunch of things I have to refine and tweak in the sketch, mostly subtle parts of the anatomy in order to make this look great. Right now its a little, I dont know, gloopy.

Last image for the month is going to be a male brown bear. a male lion with a nice luscious mane came close so I think when I work on another male its going to be a lion. drawing a mane should be fun.
I took some time to consider the pose and I decided on a reclining pose on a bed. This one is going to evolve some sheets and other fabrics s...
Honey badger on her fours
Here it is. there is still somethings about the image that bugs me but you learn very little when you linger.
Please let me know what you think!
Update/next project.
male Brown bear looks to be winning so far but there is still 20 min before the poll ends.
I want to give my current project a little more thought, but I am pushing to post a finished version tomorrow and start on a sketch for the male project the same day.
Species poll
Took a break today from any work but I plan to finish the honey badger tomorrow. I want to make a quick species poll for the next male image. this poll is a little limited as these are creatures I prefer to draw overall.

very close to being done. I just want to take some time to really polish the image and fix some things I don't like. I might want to think some things over with the image and give it some time so perhaps I will give it a day of thought.

Honey badger WIP 4
Wanted to just work on the body today but I went ahead and worked on one leg as well. I am at the part where I am a little unsure about the image but I will keep poking at it. I was going to stream today but wanted to take my time and work at it every now and then through out the day.
I will be streaming tomorrow however.
Honey badger WIP 3
I am really giving it my all with this one. I often settle with defused lighting with little shadow or directional light but I am trying to out do myself with this image. I am also playing around with color a bunch. I want to pace myself with this one so it turns out well but that might mean I might not finish a 3rd image this month. 3 images...
