Process photos during my first attempt at adding tone to a portrait! Limited to only 2-tones at first (and a 3rd one for the darker hair). After Brian Knox & Watts Atelier.

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

Early practice of turning a static pose into a more dynamic one. Slowly building up confidence to invent a figure! Figure drawing course by @prokotv.bsky.social
