I started off with some quick sketches to focus on unusual and surprising poses. The project photo offered some dynamic angles.

The photo above is a sketch of a person wearing a hoodie and balancing on a chair. I wanted to start with a rough sketch to get the dynamic movement of balance.

I then filled in the entire sillhouette and some of the negative space to consider the balance of the two and whether the silhouette read well.

Finally, this is just the full image as skillshare cropped it above.
