nose studies based off of ruan jia studies. Originals are in pencil, painted these in PS to try and work on my control of form/lighting digitally. did em before in line. workin on eyes next!!

random...

some nose studies done in PS, cause I really suck at doing noses and eyes digitally for some reason. only line work. will try and paint em out tomorrow and see how that goes. based off of ruan jias studies that he did.

upss..

so I call a mulligan on the last half of last week. the fourth messed up my update schedule but I'm back on it again!! here's a quick sketch, all from the mind, no ref. just a test on how I draw people now. will be trying other stuff with it tomorrow.

R.I.P.

Quickie of andy griffith. used to love this show for some reason when I was a kid. sad to hear he's passed.

studies galore!!

so for the update today is two images. First is a skill test I did, the really rendered head is all from mind, checking to see how good my understanding of structure and planes/light/anatomy is. which leaves a lot to be desired. But, it's a good jumping off point, tells me what I need to work on. second image is a study I did of a henry yan drawing, about 2 hours total on it. really shows how much I suck at painting in PS... can't control values in it for shit... something else that I need to work on. hopefully I can get at least 2-3 of these done a week. try to get my brush control/value control up where it needs to be!!

study

random image I've been working on, trying to get my rendering tight.

Barnes & Noble sketches.

These are the last set of personal sketches... Though, will probably hit up b&n again to night for some more sketching/studying.

Barnes & Noble sketches

another set of B&N sketches. still trying to decide between this and scanning... will probably up the rest of these like this and maybe switch back later.

Barnes & Noble sketches.

pictures taken from my new phone. If they're good enough hopefully I can use these from now on instead of having to get it scanned.

Barnes & Noble sketches

Some barnes & noble sketches and another henry study, it was poorly planned out on my end tho... so not as good.
