Like the caption says I was almost banging my head on my desk trying to achieve the foreshortened effect for that Biker diving off his bike, it seemed no matter what I did it didn't work. So rather than push it I left it and went for a browse on here to relax and get my brain settled.

Glad to be of help pointing you to Senshistock. Her stuff is a great resource and needs promoting, so if I can help out a bit by doing that then we all win.

I stumble along bumping into all sorts of dead ends and artists block when I'm drawing and other days things just flow out of the pencil like it has a life of it's own. But one thing I have learned if things aren't going well is not to push it, but to back off and do something else to ease the tension.
Most often I don't use reference material, it's just my preferred way of working, but I don't think anything the less of turning to it when I do need help, I'd be a fool not to. Obviously I'm not the only one who has turned to SenshiStock in the past, just glad I found the exact picture that broke the log jam. Thanks for your kind words too.
