[Lyraina]

That's such a cute idea :) Mushrooms are awesome!

[Ursula Dorada]

@Lyraina: haha I love painting them <3 (cue joke about penis and stuff)

from life
In retrospec, it wasn't a good ide to pick THIS for a quick study lol

[JakeB]

Enviros and studies are looking awesome Sula. Loki thing came out well, really like the texture in the helmet. Kinda complicated for a quick study though, too right ;).

[Mr. Toodles]

So siiick haha what a killer portrait

[Zipfelzeus]

That's a quick study? You're lying! You have to be :(.... because it is really good. Great work on the helmet especially.

You shouldn't be to hard on yourself on that mushroom fairy picture. The only thing I would suggest is:
Since (atleast I think so) the fairy is our main point of focus the contrast on the figure should be higher so that it pops out of the image and becomes the main center of our attention.

Here is a picture of Nicolas Villarreal:


You can see that with adding the extra light to the fairy our attention much more drawn to it but that's just a suggestion.

Keep on rocking :)

[Ursula Dorada]

@JakeB: haha indeed. All I wanted to paint was the helmet. I should have removed it from the figure, lol
@Toodles: haha <3
@Zip: Hey, thank you! Yup. The Fairy was a quick piece - was supposed to have nailed that "alla prima" but didn't go as planned. (i think the timer on that was 1h30? something like that). That is why I called a failure, but hey. Thanks again :D I am really trying to work up the contrast and place separation.

Here, my last sketches from the break from work. Just a bit more of client work now and Ill be back at my day job.
