This is my second entry in
swapsies
Quite by coincidence, I'm doing jimox1985 again! He requested a picture of his character skipping merrily through a field of flowers while putting them into his hand basket.
I'm not normally good at depicting movement in my pictures and thus try to avoid it, but part of the fun of participating in Swapsies is that it lets me try new things and I must say I really like the way his pose came out! I wasn't quite sure what sort of dress he wanted, but since the theme is 'warmth', I though a sundress would be appropriate - I hope he approved by choice!
There were supposed to be flowers in the basket too, but I couldn't find a way to show them in the basket that didn't look terrible so rest assured that they're in there, we just can't see them from this particular angle...

I think you did well at showing movement! The key, as you've done here, is to show things in positions that would be impossible if they weren't in motion. There'd be no way for the dress to float upward and outward like that if he were standing still, not to mention that he'd fall over. Our brains, used to things like gravity and movement, fill in the blanks and give us a suggestion for what happened before this, motion-wise, and what happens after.
Well, if he's gathering flowers, that implies that he doesn't have enough yet, or he'd stop, so perhaps he doesn't have any in the basket yet, or only one, down at the bottom where we can't see it. :)
