Mark's "Bertram Shadow" by me

Tommy I couldn't agree more. The movement and posture of the cover-hand do not look anywhere near as natural as I would like. I have a big problem in that my hand is not quite big enough to cover all the "action". This is why I had to use the camera angle to my advantage so that my hand could hide everything it needed to. Yunno you can hide the moon behind your thumb? It was kinda like that! lol.

Mark I'd love some tips as I'm getting smoother at the main move every day. Just got angle issues that need working out.

I just had an amazing chat with Mark and he showed me some ways that will definitely help me to clean this up and hopefully make it sparkle... so watch this space peeps!

Thankyou so much Mark for taking the time out to give me some pointers. I learnt more in that 20 minutes with you than I've learnt in weeks of watching tutorials. Am gonna find it hard sleeping tonight! Anyway; next stop.. THE PASS! :O

I think the reason it looks suspicious is because at the moment you don't really have a motivation for your hand being over the deck, other than simply to hide what you are doing. I think that's why changes like the classic erdnase (done well) and the sideways erdanse work so well - there is motivation for the hand cover i.e a magical rub or wave. Maybe you could eventually have something, all the best with the practicing!
