Hey! I think it would be easier if you used a white canvas and use multiply on the whole sketch instead of painting small portions of it.

Hey Slapper - nice start to your sketchbook :).
I like the monster design and the spiky mountains in the background remind me of Godzilla's spikes!
Keep it going!

Don't fall into the trap going into details too early on. My suggestion would be to use the largest brush possible to block in your colors/values. Use the largest brush until you really feel like can't add anymore to it. Then size down just slightly and go back in to make corrections. Then size down again, rinse, wash and repeat.

Hello there,
I like how you're working hard on studying your anatomy, but generally you might find it more helpful to focus more on the gesture and the whole body than on the specific details of the anatomy while drawing.
As well as that working on the painting everywhere at the same time might help you a lot in the long run!
Keep on working hard and good job so far c:

Heyo. Might I suggest doing a larger, grayscale study of multiple elements in a scene or an environment. Ambient light may be something you'd be interested in to give your paintings a little more life, as they kind of resemble still lives to me at the moment due to that "vacuum" lighting (lack of light interaction).

Keep it up with the studies! would definitely print out or have the loomis figure drawing book open to the proportion pages for reference while working.
