brave like a bear

Hey Kirsten, thank you! im working quite a bit on my figurative work at the moment so hopefully i can start to use them even more as central points. i have an aversion to detail aha, but i think i need to try and use it in certain areas to strengthen the image, particularly in composition.
anyway!

todays colour study!
i need to get faster, this was supposed to be 1hr30 but i spent longer ( i think about 2hr15) and didnt actually finish it, im hoping this will come with time, but any tips are appriciated!


working 1000x more effectively now im following a schedule!

Hi mate

just swung by to see the updates, I like the girls face in post 94, that has a great quality and expression to it, good one buddy I like that a lot and would like to see the rest of her.

The last post too is rather good, but I just feel he needs a bit more definition to his neck, just an observation mate and I am quite prepared to be wrong LOL.

all the best to you mate

[mindwrack]

Thanks lightship

Holy balls I envy your work, good stuff..

[mindwrack]

Thanks Udonhead and Anthony!
another landscape, trying to focus on scale on this one
have an assessment coming up at university so i'm spending most of my time in the studio which means not many updates, but ill be sure to start updating daily again once it's done!

[mindwrack]

some quick move studies, focusing on lighting rather than details



quick still life in oils using a monochromatic palette, will probably do more to it

[Neyut]

Heyho
nice stuff *___*, to your last pieces with the light, the colour range/contrast is quite impressive, maybe play a bit more with the light and get some more effects (reflections,recractions etc) in
become a physic scientist xD

[mindwrack]
