**insane lemur** · October 24th, 2012, 11:39 AM

awesome! if i could give a crit for your digis i'd say learn more brush variation, or working variation. a similar brush throughout a painting creates a similar edge on everything, and that leaves alot on the line as general contrasts are reduced- for instance, in the study above, i would want to make the folds in the woman's neck have a very different quality of edge than her hair etc.. etc..

**SophieW** · October 24th, 2012, 01:30 PM

Great sketchbook! I love the use of colour in your watercolour life drawings; it makes them really interesting to look at, it’d be nice to see some more if you get the time

**xinranliu** · November 10th, 2012, 11:45 AM

insane lemur: Thanks! I'll try to more mindful about different mark-making.

Great SB xin. Only thing I would like to see more of is chromatic colors. More like the landscape and characters in post 80. Definitely something I should also work on. Haha
