        I did the skater in ArtRage pastel the background is oil paint. It feels very static to me. Any suggestions for movement. All comments and advice are appreciated. Thanks.
        ps: while I don’t pay for flickr pro I post the limited number and groups. I was pleased that the group Sports Drawing and Painting posted my skier in the opening works of the flickr site.

        Arlene - C & C always appreciated

            I realized I forgot the cast shadow; so I added it.

                Your work is getting tighter and better Arlene :)

                        I also like this work of yours, the figure and environment where it interacts, the colors.

                        on the movement, you said, I don’t know if my impression makes sense, is it possible to cut out the figure? (cut only a part and tilt,?), lift it a little from the ground and tilt it, turning it a little to the left, straightening it, so that it would appear in flight but close to landing, being more straight. would this give an impression of flight, landing, give us a greater impression of flight, movement, or would it remove movement?
                        I don’t know if my thought makes sense, if I’m wrong it would have the opposite effect
                        ps: the group made an excellent choice

                        - C & C welcome ( comments and criticisms highly appreciated)

                            An active pose captured nicely again.
                            To suggest movement maybe de-emphasise and blur the background slightly. At the moment the figure looks a bit ‘locked in’ to a solid mass.

                            C&C always welcome.
