I like this pose. There is a nice amount of movement in it and I think that it comes across in the drawing. I think that the leg that's bent might be incorrect; either I didn't make it long enough or it's foreshortened and I failed to get that across in the drawing. Other than that error I like the anatomy in the chest and arms, the light is good really defining the form, and the sense of movement comes across without being to stiff or to unbalanced, both of which have been a problem for me in the past.

Ambient occlusion study number three. This time with a doughnut added to the box and sphere. One thing that working on stuff like this has helped with is working in layers. Just taking advantage of the fact that I can paint on one layer without disturbing what is on the other layers and then when I get to a point where I'm satisfied I can erase what I don't need. Seems like something simple but sometimes I forget simple stuff like that and doing these kinds of exercises helps me remember and retain that kind of information.
