Leyendecker Study
Focusing on the brushwork, noting on how the brushstroke follows the form

Would be interesting to see you applying those study notes into your own work, after all that's also part of retaining/remembering what you studied, I feel.

I am learning as well, so this is simply my observation after going through your whole sketchbook. So shall leave with a video in regards to "Finish not perfect", that way can maybe push you to start applying those studies/create personal pieces more often ^^

Keep going, keep practicing, and most importantly keep fighting the good fight, Chris.

Hey there Brian Hermelijin , Thanks for the feedback and linking me the video

I always liked Jake parker videos on how to think about art, 
This really applies to me. I always wants everything to be perfect ,which makes  every piece that i did took a long time :P.
I'm currently working on a piece and i will keep that in mind " FINISH NOT PERFECT "

Arm form study

Awesome studies here Chris. I like the way you are using 3D models as a study aid.

You illustration is looking great - just watch that right thigh (just above the knee) it seems to be slightly chunkier than the left thigh - might just be me though :).

Keep it going - looking forward to more!
