I started a photo study of this ref photo I got from characterdesigns.com. I started to take it further. Any comments and crits are welcome.

Since I didn't plan on anything but a study, I didn't do the ref search in advance for clothes or background. What I'm trying to go for is some sort of ritual where the man is either extracting or inserting something into the female.

Let me know what you think. Thanks.

hello

i think you're doing pretty well so far. Two things I noticed though. His left leg (the one on the right side of the study :P ) is a bit too slim. Especially the lower leg. I think you could make it a bit more muscular. And the second thing is the weight of the woman. I think her butt could be a bit bigger and really observe the photo for the weight. The guy is holding practically her whole weight, and on your study she's floating a bit. That's all i'd try to work on for now if I were you. Other than that I think you're doing fine.

Keep pushing, keep observing.
good luck!

Thanks for your time. Yes his left leg does appear too slim. I have to adjust the cast shadow on top of it. I think that slim look is coming from the shadow.

Good point about the weight. I didn't really think about it. Even though this pose is relying on him holding her up. The details I guess huh?

Awesome! Thanks again for your time.
