@nathanKmcwilliams Funny you'd mention Eyeshield 21... I was thinking of giving it a read and husband has given it the highschool jock seal of approval, so... I think I will after the season is over. I have SO MUCH football to watch right now though OMG. And read! Part of the reason I fell so hard for football is because of how much it's about strategy/mind games (I had no idea it was this brainy and I am so in love with the concept of cadence). So I have a stack of books at home on fewtball strategy to try and understand it.
@migxmeg - It helped, I think, yeah. Before I was kind of operating on "key frames" when it comes to the action. Cool shot here, cool shot here. Now I can imagine the whole motion and work it into the movement of the sketch. And I can throw a spiral even as my whole back protests the indignity
