From observation

From imagination (excuse the extreme boobs, was for lols)

[LastGen]

Awesome, man! I love your sketchbook, it's always a pleasure to check for updates and pop in into your livestream if there's time.

Treat those breasts as part of the imagination process - suddenly everything's fine, hehe!

[JakehC]

are you familiar with the main muscle groups of the body/face?

[Voodoo_Mama]

Great studies! The imagination ones are looking amazing.

[Gloominati]

Good work man!! But, "excuse the extreme boobs" no Idea what you're talking about man, sorry....

[ErikR]

Just one word H0t, x)

[Metal Fingers]

Yerr gettin all good and shit man, keep goin! Your rendering is getting real suave these days! I think really starting to pay attention to your edges now will do wonders for your work, even if its just cleaning up things at the end. For example, on the last girl, the edge gradation from a sharp turn off on the cleavage to a more soft, shallow edge where the breasts flatten out, you could really push that more. Even if its a quick piece, just final pass for a half hour or so polishing everything before you save a final .jpeg can help a lot. then there are little small things like cleaning up her left shoulder where it wobbles a bit. Also I noticed you paint a real sharp edge highlight on that lower part of the cheek form on a lot of your faces, playing around with the small things like how soft those edges are, or how they cut across the faces will really help vary your facial structures. Keep it up though man, definitely happy to see how far you've come over the last few months. Inspirational. Cheers!

[a la bapsi]

it might help you to study faces with different complexions!

[SamC]

The general internet consensus seems to be for me to give up and go die in a hole somewhere because I can't paint faces that well, nevertheless, streaming in 10!

[SamC]

Drapery study in 10 minutes!
