I worked on this on and off for a long time. I found it difficult. I tried to pay attention to the values. A lot of my art has become less colorful because I want to focus on the values rather than resorting to bright colors to make an interesting piece. I also had trouble trying to place this figure in 3d space. It's easier if you consider the surrounding 3d space at conception then trying to figure it out when the drawing has already been laid in. I had some trouble with the proportions of the body which I only realized late into working on this. I looked at some reference photos and tried to guess at better proportions. I think it looks better as a result. But this is one of those drawings that you could work on forever. I felt the need to put an end to it.
I really like the idea of demons these days. With animal like limbs. Something different from the typical human. I think it's because I am often lowkey stressed these days. I feel stifled and wish to be set free like a beast from its cage. I think I have always felt like that though. I can express myself through art but in real life I'm unsure how to let loose.
