Kaspar practice

(2:24:16 PM) John K: very good feel
(2:24:21 PM) Geneva: thank you!
(2:24:28 PM) John K: I only have 1 crit
(2:24:34 PM) Geneva: please
(2:24:40 PM) John K: the contrasts have been toned down
(2:24:46 PM) John K: big shapes against small
(2:25:02 PM) John K: things ending up in the middle
(2:25:06 PM) John K: like his arm
(2:25:33 PM) Geneva: Yeah, it's something I'm trying to fight with
(2:25:34 PM) Geneva: which arm?
(2:25:46 PM) Geneva: oh, the one I made short?
(2:26:28 PM) John K: the lax arm where he's poking the tree
(2:26:38 PM) John K: the arm just hanging down on the right
(2:26:48 PM) John K: yours is in the middle of his fur coat
(2:26:52 PM) Geneva: ohhhh
(2:26:55 PM) Geneva: I see it now
(2:26:56 PM) John K: mine is towards the back and on a slight angle
(2:27:07 PM) Geneva: I totally missed that
(2:27:12 PM) Geneva: thanks for pointing that out
(2:27:50 PM) Geneva: I angled it differently, too, woops
(2:30:09 PM) John K: look at his eye too
(2:30:14 PM) John K: you made it a perfect oval
(2:30:32 PM) John K: and the pupil is bigger and not as directly looking at the tree as mine
(2:30:39 PM) John K: so always analyze a pose first
(2:30:46 PM) John K: just say what the drawing is doing
(2:31:00 PM) John K: "Kaspar is staring at the tree in a menacing manner"
(2:31:11 PM) John K: then look at his eyes and make sure that comes through

(2:33:51 PM) John K: see how the size contrasts are evening out?
(2:33:55 PM) John K: look at his feet
(2:34:01 PM) John K: your feet are larger tha mine
(2:34:06 PM) Geneva: Yeah, especially on the top one
(2:34:18 PM) John K: your hand is as big as your arm
(2:34:26 PM) John K: it's half and half there
(2:34:31 PM) John K: the one that's pointing
(2:34:59 PM) John K: you're getting good feeling in the solidity and lines
(2:35:07 PM) John K: now work on contrasts
