Hi everyone!

First of all I would like to wish you all a happy new year 😊

The end of the year ended with some disappointments on my side, I had some refusals or some objectives that I wasn't able to succeed in times.
But I also have new goals for 2025, and above all a resolution: to be less hard on myself and more realistic.
I'm almost never able to finish the things that I would like to, in the delays that I impose on myself, because I'm too ambitious and not so attentive to my limits and the real pitfalls.
So I have to rethink all these things and be more relaxed about it.
In fact, most of my 2024 goals aren't really missed, they're just not finished yet, they're just postponed.
I can't wait to talk to you about my future projects :)
I'm slow (or so I think), but in any case I'm going at my own pace; working hard until burnout is not so much for me. I take care of myself first of all.

So today I am going to share with you some sketching exercises I did to practise drawing the torso, the most important part of the body and certainly the most important when designing a figure.

As I mentioned before, a good way to think about the torso is to imagine it in the shape of an egg or a box.

Then I make some sketches to practise the different positions of the torso; the torso is particularly interesting as I can be destabilising at first, drawing it is not so easy, so it is useful to train with a simpler shape.

Hope you will like it.

And you, do you have any resolutions or goals for 2025?
I would love to know if you do!

See you soon for more creations :)

It's interesting how you use geometric figures to achieve your goal, this year I hope to grow a lot in hive, like everyone, hehe great job friend 😄

I hope you so! 😊
Thank you 😉

My goal for 2025 is to master painting. Yes, I'm joking, but I'm working at it every day. Helping me along is a book I found this year: "Mastery" by Robert Greene. I highly recommend it. So much good information I can use. Best wishes for 2025!

It's a great goal and you're already well on your way to it. Thank you for the recommandation I appreciate!
