--Shameless selfpromotion: Heya if you guys like Dark Souls. Why don't you take a little peek into my sketchbook in the next few days. :D

--That sounds like a good goal! Short studies are of course easier to implement in to your day if you're busy but you can also work on a long piece for an hour each day for a week. The most important part is of course doin something. hahaha

--cheers for the advice. I'll keep the aims in mind. I'll do speed for a few days then maybe 2 long studies a week or something.
19 Jul 06:45
--Long studies for accuracy and the rendering practise and short studies for speed and training yourself to look out for what's important and what can be implied

--Is it worth taking longer or just sticking to my time limit of 30 min max and concentrate on improvement of accuracy for next round? maybe occasionally do a longer study to practice more nuance.

--A backflip looks also easy but when you try it you'll usually fall on your ass. It's all practise! Just keep doing it.

--I'm just sat doing film cap value studies and my f'ing god I do not know how people make these look so easy.

--anyway notan cc seems like an interesting idea. I was also thinking about a collab edition (2-3 man teams) and we have a pretty nasty idea for anniversary 1 year challenge

--@lodratio: what Adma said, try to fill in the basic colors and go from there, should work better for you

--it helped me right at the awkward stage of learning how to bring things all together
19 Jul 05:26
--Seems like a good idea. I'm always guessing a bit too much when it comes to joints
19 Jul 05:23
--thats a good start, I would tighten down the sketch further until you have indications of where the form is rolling towards. Like in area where the legs are attaching to the body and hands. Zoom in and figure out if each area of the forms make sense. Im using a method I learned from Devin Platt atm. http://texahol.blogspot.ca/2013/05/some-...about.html

--Actually, I have a sketch that I wanted to work on some more. maybe you could tell me how you'd go about turning it into something finished.
19 Jul 05:14
--it would be way less pressure to start something if there were less focus on having a more developed process as the bar to entry

--ya, getting from a decent looking sketch to an anywhere near presentable finished illustration is a long road, and for people like you and me who haven't walked it that often it's easy to get lost.

--i have a good idea of what im shooting for but only now am I learning ways to get there
