Hi, I'm a dance teacher and you help me a lot for drawing. Thank you very much! You made a mistake though. What I see with my dance teacher's eyes is a more complex and interesting position. I started to realise your mistake when you drew the shape of the spine. You made the draw as if she was pulling her left arm up, but she is twisting to the right. It has an effect on the upper body. You can see it as well on the down left because it looks like her wait is on her toes, but it should be more on her heal so her left waist line is wrong. That's why as well the line of the spine for the upper body should be more straight and the left shoulder should point more front. I believe that the direction of the neck would help as well since she is making effort to watch towards right so the direction of the spine of the neck is not flat but slightly in diagonal. Her front left ribs in this position are closer to each others so you see the opposition in the back right ribs beeing more opened. Thank you for the great videos.
30:45 You also lowered the camera to move the boat up above the horizon, which feels like a powerful change! I just discovered your channel and am watching a bunch of the videos on composition. I love composition because I'm not good at drawing or painting, but I feel like I can make my art more striking by composing it well. Thanks for these!
Doing value studies alongside Chris has been so helpful, never knew I hate drawing details so much. With values and paintings you don’t have to draw any detail that isn’t your focal point! Hallelujah 😂🎉
Chris, you are a wonderful and genuine teacher. I have been following you for years. You do a great job explaining concepts. Even your free weekly mails are very insightful. good luck
