Ahhhhh this one sucked but I'm going to post it anyway. I blame the lighting, it was tricksy. And for some reason he was pulling a proper sad face. Learnt some things anyway, like... hands are generally bigger than you think they are. And simpler is better.

I saw something done in a similar way somewhere and thought I'd have a stab at it. I'm pretty happy with everything but her face. I think I redid it about 10 times with various different expressions. Also, I always try and go for exaggeration and doing something stylized but quite often end up reining it back because it doesn't look quite right. And then it doesn't look as punchy as I wanted to.

Guess it's time for another go at something!
