good stuff, but in post #96 the egg will not get the same shade as the ball, fetch an egg from the fridge and get some hard light on it, then try to paint it

you might try this. if you don't know what hard light is, let me know and i'll 'splain.

or even a small box.

draw from life man. not pictures, not the internet. draw from life. and keep doing it.

g'luck.

Good to see some studies. I hope you'll keep up the good work.

I've also had some trouble with life drawing for a long time, because I didn't know where to start. But then I realized that instead of wasting time thinking of what to draw, just draw whatever you see in front of you, or your own hands and feet. They're always right there for you.

Oh, and about where you didn't know how to make an egg stand on end for you to study? Put some water on the bottom of the egg (don't make it too wet), put some salt from the salt shaker in the palm of your hand and dip the egg in the salt, making it stick to the shell. Now you should be able to make it stand. =D But it might be safer to boil the egg first, to avoid making a mess.
