Throughout my art education, I've learned a multitude of new techniques that make me take a step back and reevaluate my methods. For example, drawing a line of motion for the entire body before sketching in the wireframe or person themselves. Or the advice to just start over on a drawing if you've noticed a base-level mistake. After all, it the end product will be better if you just start from scratch, equipped with that new knowledge.
Following along those lines, I've been influenced to take a side departure into a further study of anatomy, and life/character studies in general. An interestingly different technique to character modeling has been introduced to me as well, so I'll likely adhere to those steps for my next project or two, and see how that flows.
On a side note, I've been playing with the character concept of a robot in my head- a sort without any kind of casing, but made to resemble a human. A constantly neutral posture and expression, but an unsettling habit of staring at whoever is talking. I'll try to get it down on paper as soon as I decide the artistic direction to go with it.
