Hey! Nice job here! I focused on the 3rd pose, the one you struggled with. As I said in the video. The main issue is the way the character is holding the weapon. Since it's a big and heavy one, it will fall if the character holds it with one arm. Also keep in mind the twisting of the torso. Hope this helps!

Greetings there, looking for feedback on this Lion I've been struggling with. This here is my WIP redesign of a previous artwork I created of my DnD character concept, Tharion Starmaul. My aim with this piece is to flesh out my character in a design page as I work through fixing my last artworks critique mistakes. Currently I've been struggling with my 3rd pose design and can't quite get it to feel right, I'm aiming to have him dashing forward and about to follow through with his morning star side swipe... This is about the 3rd time I've redrawn and redesigned this pose and I keep getting stuck every time... Any advice or thoughts on what's wrong or what I'm missing? I feel like I'm going crazy, I know each time I've redrawn it I feel like I'm getting just a little closer, but somethings always off bugging the crap out of me.
That said Feel free to change any of the other pose designs as well if you see something that can be better, I think the others are good I feel ok about them and I like there silhouettes.
lastly how does the head consistency look? My aim is to make them all look like the first design, I've never attempted making 3 pose designs all look coherent and of the same character before.
With that said, I truly appreciate you having a look through at my work and feel free to pick and chose here, I didn't mean to over ask so many questions lol.

I went back to Change the pose my brother told me I made him to stiff so I decided to make him move like a ballerina to capture him being more graceful

June Sketch Day 8

Late post, fell asleep after got back from vacation. I drew these three from references to sharpen my visual library. Probably as much as i needed before hopping into drawing from imagination. To me, there's a lot room for improvements, because these drawing still not great. If you have any advices, truly i'd be grateful to hear it. Ignore the top left, its from yesterday :)
