Skull/head studies

Yesterday's studies

Behold--tiny color studies of figures and portraits as well as some quick gesture drawing.

For the past three days being my first real study of color I'm very happy with the result, and how by the end I managed to build up some of these backgrounds intuitively. Can definitely see my progress, and this is good knowledge to use in comic work/finished pieces.

The gestures are fine. I also went to a park and did some trad quickdraw, which I was less happy with. Guess I'm no Rembrandt.

I need to study expressions DESPERATELY--right now my drawn faces are way way below my standards. Going to hopefully start that tonight and finish tomorrow.

Also I drew a butt a couple months ago and forgot about it lmao

Quarantine Studies

I'm still on that grind...I'm gonna do it, I'm going to become a great artist!

Done these studies over the past couple of days. I've been doing studies traditional as well. There's a lot I need to focus on, but the big thing I've been trying to improve upon is gesture and form.

Also, color! I'm still a baby at color. It's like trying to learn to draw all over again. Did some "tiny studies" from ctrl paint to try to internalize it. Working on the same but with figures/portraits to learn skin tone.

I want to do another full piece soon. In the meantime these are some sketches (maybe about 1hr each) that I did this morning after tuning into some InCase streams.

Damn, now that I'm looking at it, their right leg on the right image is actually broken, like broken broken. Damn.

Need to study: gesture, esp. NSFW gesture. Asked about how to study NSFW on an InCase stream and he suggested to set up a slideshow app for gesture drawing using porn. I did a little of that, but untimed. Timed is key. Also practice expressions!
