Focus on the action

I’m a firm believer in action, movement and gesture. Humans, animals, creatures, robots… they are all in constant movement. Even if we pick a very static pose, it is still a frozen moment of a moving organism. So, if I can get the action right, all the additional details will complement that action. And the opposite is also true; if there is no clear sense of action or movement, no matter how detailed your sculpture or drawing is, it will look stiff and forced. As much as I love working on dynamic poses, I wanted to raise the bar and try out something a bit more grounded and calmer. So, I decided to continue with this pose for this piece of work.
