Nice stuff so far!

THe biggest thing I'm seeing is that you are using kind of low sat colors for your skin tones. Get some color in there! Some warm fleshy reds and pinks and oranges!

Yea i have noticed that as well and I am working on that. Thank you for the input.

Pretty cool studies cricketts! I think you should try being more selective with where you put the textures, you seem to be distributing them pretty evenly across the face and it's making something of a flattening effect. Your color choices are looking pretty good though! It would be easier to tell if you had the photos next to the studies though.

From your patterns from your mind's eye it seemed like you didn't understand where to put the highlights on objects, so I tried to explain it with a little diagram, and did some paintovers


maybe I've gone a little overboard here, I hope you find these helpful, and not annoying XD

I think if you had some simple matte objects to study they would help a lot. Anyway, keep up the good work and hope to see more soon!

hey man, some neat studies. I like the hair in post #35 better than the hair in the studies in post #31 and #32. that's because with the last one, you painted it more as if it were ribbons, instead of a mop. try to stick with that. here's an article that explains it better: http://gurneyjourney.blogspot.nl/2008/04...ecret.html
keep it up. try to draw some males, or old humans, I'd like to see something different than pin up's : p out of that comfort zone!
