    Good morning/afternoon/evening everyone!

    I've been struggling to understand the 3-dimensionality of the ribcage (in example 1, the arm in the background feels wonky), as well as generally struggling with muscles. What steps should I take to overcome these hurdles?

    Example 1

    Example 2

    Howdy, I'm a lass born n' raised in the state of California named Cinnomin, but who you'll know as Cinno! (She/Hers) We're basically siblings now, so feel free to drop the formalities!

    Not too long ago, my class was taken on this big field trip where we drove in a fancy bus to LA! We got to tour some of the colleges, and at the end, went to the docks to spend the remains of our money and mingle with the locals. It was just such a wholesome time. There was this one magician struggling to gather a crowd, and after a quick group huddle between me and my friend, we decided to offer ourselves up. It wasn't anything too crazy, just a few humble card tricks, (we each got to keep a card!) but there's something so lovely about sharing a memory with a friend that I can't help feeling softly undone when I look at my card souvenir.

    Oh boy, my overall art goal?
    I want my art to feel real. Oops, that sounded really silly- it's hard to put it in words... I want someone to look at my art and feel like they're part of the moment, I want people to see my art and experience it. This means my overall includes:

    - Dynamic Poses
    - Dynamic Expressions
    - Godly, 3D Shading (That POP! Weighty feel)
    - Etheral Coloring (includes texture, learning color theory, etc)
    - Setting/Background Practice
    - Engaging Compositions

    Just to list a few! I'm focusing on those first two at the moment.

    Content Warning// Genitalia Mentions
    Oh boy, this is a bit inappropriate, (such is the way of high-school humor) so maybe skip if mentions of genitalia make you uncomfortable. The other day in history class, my friend found a meme that proposed it could provide a name for your vagina. The way it did this was through a chart, which correlated a word to the month of your birthday (ex. October --> "Sweet"), and the day (2 --> "Pie.") So we were all giggling, doing an anticipating table drumroll when someone was scanning for their name, and you know, just having a grand time doing everything but the assignment. Of course, our teacher noticed the giggles, and came over seeking answers, but we wouldn't elaborate until he had given his birthday. My friend, who was the first to see the result, could not say what it was, which ended up being so much better, because they opted to pass the teacher the phone so they could see for themselves. I gotta tell you, watching the shock swell into hysteric cry-laughing on that man's face, ("Dick Pit"), was CINEMATIC and PHENOMENAL. We get to call him Mr. Pit :)

    Much love!

    Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening all!

    My name is Cinnomin (She/Hers), though I usually go by Cinno, and I'm a big fan of dynamic expressions and poses! I'd consider myself to be a pretty open-minded chap, so if you have no one to ramble to about your niche hobbies, I'm here for you!

    I spend my hours surfing the web for songs, daydreaming about animatics, strengthening my vocabulary with words like "diaphanous" (It means light, delicate, and translucent. Ahh, so pretty!!), or binging the occasional documentary. :] My heart is really drawn to art and all its beautiful colors, (oh oops pun intended?), so I'm really excited to join your ranks!

    Raise a glass; here's to a prosperous art journey for all!
    Clink!
