I think these are great! love your moleskin sketches too, your figures have a lot of life for being beans and sticks hehe! Keep up the amazing work and please keep sharing
I see what Bobby is saying about the shoulder, but i think the muscle is just bunched too short if that makes sense. i like it better in than out, but it does need a little love 
@Bobby-Aquitania Thank you for taking time to do a paint over - I did NOT see that! When I look at my construction /early sketch the shoulder is not that rounded at all, so this happened when I was doing the lines. This will definitely be fixed tonight
@Lynn-Larson Thank you for the encouraging words The shoulder will get some love tonight - or sooner We're celebrating both mother's day and valentines in Norway today, so I'll have to squeeze it in between cake and take-out dinner 
@Camomilla I can't wait to see it 
mmmm...cake lol
So, a little love for the shoulder - I acted on Bobby's suggestion and let the left braid cover the shoulder. I also added some smeared make-up - I think it really accentuated her eyes. But now I think HE needs to pop more from the background. Or maybe not?
Some more Moleskin Bean&Stick-people. People moving/action-poses are challenging for me. I'm not happy with Bodybuilder-Bean's left leg and arm. Need to do more of these, I think
@Camomilla I love these bean/stick people - I honestly think they are amazing characters on their own. Just add in some faces and you are really into something here! So interesting and clever!
@Rich-Green Thank you, making them is a lot of fun I'm facing some difficulties though, I keep trying to undo and zoom in 
Guess this means I should give traditional mediums more attention 
Shoulder looks much better! i like the make-up as well! I think if you up the saturation on deadpool he will be fine Awesome work!

Bean&Stick-people
The Bean&Stick-people are amazing!
It's great to meet another Jazza fan! I've bought his set of photoshop brushes and they are just awesome.
I am amazed at how much life you have given to you ''stick" people. Wow!
Thank you @Lynn Larson, I like the shoulder much better now myself. Spent an hour or so going over Deadpool yesterday and will post an update tonight
Thank you @mag Draw with Jazza is a very good channel imo - he's both entertaining and a good teacher. I also watch Marydoodles - she does amazing watercolor and ink-paintings. Lately I've been binge-watching both Jake Parker and Will Terry as well, so my TV has gotten no attention from me in ages
Thank you @stacilyn - I came up with these when my husband drew a stick-figure on an envelope a couple of days ago. It was a regular stick figure, with straight limbs and a stick body, but the figure was smiling and holding a cigarette. I began to wonder how I would have depicted the same stick figure to give it some gesture and body-language. The next day it was clear to me that it needed a bean body and head to express rotation and orientation, and so it came to life It's funny what little things can spark your creativity and how seemingly pointless stuff can be a great inspiration. It never seizes to amaze me.
By accident I seem to have duplicated my line-art layer, but I think this is one of those "happy accidents" that I think I'll keep. Somehow the whole image got more intense, and I think the lighter background and highlights on Deadpool make him stand out enough. I think. Bah, it's really hard to declare somethin "finished", but I think I'm nearly there. I'm afraid that if I keep going in and cleaning up lines and stuff, I'll ruin the dark/scruffy look I tried to create to begin with.

And one where her outline is a bit duller
At this point I feel that all I do is pick at insignificant stuff - maybe it's time I submitted this
I think it looks great! Good luck, and let us know how you do!!
Thank you, I'll submit tonight I don't have any hopes of winning anything - these contests have A LOT of entries, and many of them very good. There's two categories; Open and Beginner. Not sure if mine is up to the Open category, but I don't feel like a total beginner either. Oh dear. Wish there was an "experienced beginner"-category 
I've had a bad shoulder for a couple of days, so the day before yesterday I didn't draw at all. It's a bit better now, so I relentlessly continue with my 100-day challenge and decided it was time to work on more action-packed poses. Being a childish adult that loves superheroes and dinosaurs, I decided a dino would be appropriate, now that I've just done a superhero-piece. I saw one of Jake Parkers Sky Heart-illustrations, with an armoured dinosaur chasing his main character, and I just loved the movement and action in it. I tried to see if I could do something similar from imagination, but I see a lot of room for improvement on this 
It should have it's mouth more open, and perhaps a more tilted body (to the left)?
Since I have to take it a bit easy with my shoulder I didn't do more than this rough construction last night, but I'll definitely try and get a couple of hours of sketching in today. With lots of breaks.
He has excellent movement! Sorry about your shoulder, hope it heals up quickly!
@Lynn-Larson Thank you, the shoulder/arm-thing have been bugging me for years. A physical therapist told me it was going to be a problem as long as I work 8 hours a day in front of a computer. Being a graphic designer who produces every day, this is unfortunately inevitable, I think. But I still need to do some things for myself, even though I probably should give arms/shoulders a rest during my spare time. I like to knit as well, but this is almost impossible. However, the glass surface on my drawing pad is actually less strenuous - I've been able to do a LOT more sketching than if I had just used pencil and paper Hopefully I can work on my drawing techniques to relieve some of the strains
So far today I've been making this. Well, actually a lot more that looked completely silly, so I'll only be posting this. Still VERY rough, but I think this is the direction I want to go in
I think these are great! love your moleskin sketches too, your figures have a lot of life for being beans and sticks hehe! Keep up the amazing work and please keep sharing
