Francois' 2016 Improvement Thread

Francois_K · Mar 2016

Since I had one in 2015 and posted non-stop bonkers almost every day, I think I'll do another one but for 2016 but rather go slower and more focused rather than just posting shit and jumping from concept to concept like skankerzero has pointed out before.

So here's my first thing I'm working on in terms of anatomy.
Critique is always welcome.

I wanted to do an African child soldier but then decided against it , not sure what I want to do with this yet so for now , it's just anatomy practice.

Break from the anatomy for a bit and continued on my hotdog man. Still need to really tighten up a lot of things , especially the hotdog. The skin and cloth feels pretty decent to me so far.

Looking at a lot of stuff Gavin and Xavier did for inspiration.

Participating in the Artstation 'The Journey' Challenge.
It's still pretty loose so far, used Marvelous Designer to get some simple folds in there.
