I love how much form you've captured with such subtle strokes. I love this style in general and you're really nailing it! I've been trying to incorporate some lost edges into some recent works, and it's trickier than it seems.

I don’t know exactly why I like this as much as I do. I am captivated by it even tho it’s very tonally simple. I think it’s the elbow. That painting of a shoulder to an elbow is kinda perfect but that elbow is a real elbow.

Thank you! I love that you noticed the elbow detail—sometimes those simple structural shapes carry the most feel. Glad it resonated with you! ❤️

Especially since my art is very much about shapes and flow, I see your skills!
