Thank you everyone! I did initially start with full body gestures (as opposed to skeletons) but switched over based on the advice of some tutorials here, I think I'll start incorporating full-body back in and do some of each. :) And I definitely see what you mean about the lines,thank you for pointing that out! I do get a little lost with the longer sketches sometimes, which I think is where the "petting" as you put it gets the most prominent; would you suggest focusing on shading more in that time than on overworking the lines? Or to slow down with the initial proportioning, as it's not limited to 30 sec for longer poses?
