thanks for your comment in my SB...try using simple forms as a basis to establish your designs instead of just jumping ninja style into contours

[Izene]

PRO!!!!

[kidult]

Thanks Izene, but I still have far to go before that!

So here's an update on the master study, 22 hours so far....serious and some work on an oil painting.


An oil painting I started:

I have been doing colour mixing studies in oils. It's time to start working on leveling up my painting skils! I been taking 5 colours and then seeing how many hues I can mix from them. As far as mixing oil paint got its been a huge insight.

so after a week of doing studies from Loomis Drawing Heads and Hands, and doing a couple of studies from photos, I managed to do these ladies from imagination. Also tried some design / layout stuff inspired by my Alphonso Mucha book!

[Izene]

Whoa!those sketches are really awesome!
How come you shade like that with your other sketches?Great job man!

[Dark_Eyes]

5 stars! Merry christmas! *****
