[poetry man]

your getting there with skin tones and color gradation/mixing. but I think you need to work on proportions, and edges, even smoother blending.

Value Studies before I go to bed its 5 am!!Photo ref found at DA

Nice Loomis studies! Are you applying that construction? When you do your painted studies, do you start by finding the planes like that? A lot of the photo studies don't have that same sense of understanding of planes and underlying anatomy. Don't just copy the photo, analyze it. =)

[kimozabbi]

Revidescent: Yea, trying to figure it out and applying my studies its kinda confusing on certain photos especially if it doesnt have proper lighting, I think, lol. Still trying to figure out the structure, hahaha.

painting from life was last week forgot to post it.
photo ref from DA and from Pbase.org.

The form and proportions of your portraits are greatly improving. I can tell that you are starting to actually construct the underlying structure of the face rather than just slapping paint on. Great work, keep it up

[kimozabbi]

B_h_bloomer: thanks man. trying to understand what im doing.
photo refs found on DA. the face kind took me a long time, lol. damn..

[PeopleEveryday]

Those head-plane studies are helping your painted faces improve tremendously! Maybe try throwing some color on them and taking away the lines in Photoshop/Painter for some extra practice?

And thanks for stopping by my sketchbook.
