The look on my face in this photo is the look I make when I'm jumping in the air at just the right time to catch the auto shot after 2 seconds while trying to remember to have the best form I can in midair so the archers don't get mad and also not dry fire the bow.

And don't forget the knee!

My Patron: "I need a few sequential references of a person jumping."

Me: "Would a slow motion video help?"

Patron: "That would be ideal."

✅✨

Also, I haven't used the slow-mo on this camera yet and it's definitely better than my last phone!

I saw a post this morning somewhere about trying to draw an upturned chin from below and yeah - that's a tough one!

You need to rely a lot on shading the form rather than lines for this usually. Beards can be a nice cheat. 😋

Here's a few refs to try today if you want the challenge. ⭐

FINALLY got all the SunnyRay studio shots edited!

Reminder that this whole shoot was unfortunately shot with the wrong settings so we're calling these, uh 'soft focus'

yeah - that's right

it's a STYLISTIC CHOICE

(no, I messed up)

Anyway Sunny is an amazing model and the poses are great ⭐

This shoot would be so much easier to edit if I hadn't accidentally shot the whole thing in NEF and my computer crashes every time I try to open more than one of them. 🥹

My thumb RSI is having a flare up so I'm in tendon prison for a few days. 🥹

Hey did you know that my site hosts blog posts from @astrafauna.bsky.social's Mind. Body. Artist.?

Dealing with RSI is one of many topics we've covered!
