Day 1: 100 hand studies

Day 2: 100 hands study (153 if you count PS crashing and making me lose everything)


today's studies

Brad potrait study


lion study for Beastmasters.

Day 3 100 hands study (this is eating up a lot of my painting time)


and a study

day 4 100 hands...almost forgot it was it will be my birthday tomorrow..i hope i have time to do studies...i dont want to have to do 200 hand studies to make of for it.

part 1 of 2...i wanted to paint more females because i suck at painting them....i won't be doing any more of these anytime soon....i have so much work to do this month.

some fixes...Note to self: i need to pay more atention and flip my canvas more often.

Last batch of bad work before i undergo metamorfosis and become a beautiful artist...hopefully.
a quick sketch


and stuff.


i'm going to take a break to study for a couple of days...so i can do some paintings from life and study volume. and some loomis.

today's life study

yooooooooo
it was nice seeing you in the hangout

today's life study

am i a beautiful artist yet?

i think you should rethink on how you feel about your art because i sense that you want to be accept as a ''good artist'' but i fact you should be more focus on improving first.It good to be approve but is that all that really matter? for me the answers is no.This should be a faculative goal i think.

Being a great artist is not just about drawing painting what ever it is about making for art.I think it also to be able to communicate with art.

Studddieeeesssss

lookin good!
keep up the studies!

Hey, thanks Marjorie.

MOAR Studies





and a quick speed painting

stuff i've been working on


and a wip for a local contest.

hey dude, i think it's useless to rush your studies now, since you don't have the fundamentals of volume and space ! It's better to do 10 hands focusing all your attention on proportions, volume, etc, rather than rushing, and doing 100 hands where you put no thoughts on it and all you do is barely copying the shapes of your hands . You have to think a lot whils drawing and painting, you must understand what you're doing ! it's easy to draw thoughtlessly, while your mind is wandering, but it's harder to put all your energy and your focus to spend 2-3 hours fully thinking about learning and actually making huge progress !!! Anyway, keep up your efforts dude !

thx kikindaface, i stopped doing the 100 hands thing because i just went on autopilot after the first 10-20. now i am thinking a lot more while i study and i feel like i'm learning faster.

something i was working on before i did some studies and saw how bad it was. i may keep the idea but i'll have to repaint it from scartch.

OOOKAY. i've decided that from today on i will be posting daily. even if it just some scraps :/

i was working on this before i decided to stop painting and do anatomy studies all november.
