I feel like there are at least a dozen sketches for every finished or nearly-finished piece of work I do...Sometimes that means sketching the same thing multiple times before I get it right—but most of the time I just go tearing down a rabbit hole of multiple tiny little thumbnail sketch ideas, and end up with a pile of things to choose from.
That’s one way to stock up for a rainy day of art block, or to keep the mental hardware running between stretches of working on other stuff. It’s also a great way to just sit at my desk for awhile, unable to decide which one to expand into something that’ll actually get finished >.>
But these poses turned out pretty solid. I think I might even see this one all the way through to color and rendering XD
