thank you very much :)

Here is some stuff ive been doing the last few days, its kind of repatitive to say but still trying more things. Seeing how far i can get with things at 100 opacity, i actually think it is nicer to paint like that for some reason haha. felt some progress with my enviroments to ! first one that i didnt completley hate ! i also worked out that i learn SO much better by creating my own methods for drawing things versus following an instruction book. Like loomis and such, all there mehtods i kind of put aside and created my own that work for me.over the next month ill be focusing on getting my wacom drawing better, and my values. thanks for looking :)

so ill start off with some pencil stuff, working out forms that i can use

thank you everyone :) It means alot for you to look at my sketchbook and say all the nice things ! i will return the favour if i have not already :)

value practice in the morn, ( these are helping me alot, Trying to identify values with numbers, then whenever i look at things in life or in painting i try to say what number it is )
[Image: morevaluestudies.jpg]

So this come out crapppp as, but i actually learned some things off it !, i read some theory about colour ( australian spelling haha )

but basically i had been desaturating colours as they go into shadow because i figures less light less colour, However the way it works is that so long as the light source is constant, the chroma will stay constant to, only the value will change. according to huevaluechroma, . Unfortnatley i learned this at the end of the study haha

Hey Jerry, hard work as always. :D One thing I noticed with your skin textures, especially on that skin sphere...you're making the pore texture way too apparent. Pores and little imperfections in skin are really subdued, it's like background noise. Anyway keep it up man. ^_^

Do you own any of Andrew Loomis' books? They are mostly what I study out of, so awesome. (pretty sure they are free online cause he's dead: http://www.alexhays.com/loomis/ )

Doing a ton of work man. And it's clearly paying off. Getting so much better. Only thing I would say is your textures sometimes seem kinda heavy handed. Like with skin and stuff. Keep it up though, looking good so far :).

Hello again ! i do but i actually dont use them anymore, it sounds crazy but i feel like i learn things much faster and stronger by making my own methods. I used Loomis and all that originally though!

Thank you :) it seems everyone is working hard and getting better and better, its exciting ! but once you guys said about the textures it was so obvious to me haha, i've tried to back right off and just imply that the texture is there from now ! thank you :)

so here is some more stuff, Seems like i was procrastinating a little too much, so i wrote my self up a schedule and im going to see how that goes starting from today

Doing value scales every day to try and get better
[Image: valuesd8.jpg]
[Image: tryntoundestandlight.jpg]
[Image: day7value.jpg]
me trying to find my own method for determining values haha
[Image: valuestuff.jpg]

frantic sketching of working out a shape to draw heads, seem i feel more comfortable building them out of square to find the jaw angles and placement. Works alot easier for me

corell painter doodles, just trying it out

Sp that was better then the last but still poop

a 1 hour rest with more hours of hard work, is better then hours of lousy work and no 1 hour rest , if that makes sense haha ! but i know the guilty feeling. for some reason we all ways feel lazy no matter how much we do ! ! but thank you for the kind words ! :)

The snow study is very good !

Does values scale really help you ? (yeah weird question, of course it helped you)

Smashing it man. Again, hard work's paying off.

I like that you're taking the time to sit down and make notes on your work. I know it's kinda dull, but it always seems to help the information sink in. For me anyway.

Keep it up. Looking good. :)
