Facto's Sketchbook

[FactofMyth]

I don't practice or sketch enough.  One of my goals this year is to change that.  I've been kinda overloading my life with positive changes so far though, I wanna take more to time to build up my resolve and come up with a good plan for practicing that I can really commit to.

I've been slowly doing more stuff though, easing into it   I want to keep track of my progress and maybe get some feedback to encourage me, so I'm gonna start putting the small things I've been doing here.

I'm trying to come up with interesting ways for me to practice.   This is a film still I painted in 1hr.   Still from https://stillsfrmfilms.wordpress.com/



Suggestions on practice methods/resources or how/where I should host this kind of stuff appreciated :)

Hoping to upload more later.

Holy shit, tried doing some figure/gesture drawing today through http://artists.pixelovely.com/practice-t...e-drawing/

Really stressful, really unhappy with the way everything turned out.  I need to re-learn how to do these >.>

Embrace your stuff you're not satisfied with too.
It's like...there's greatness inside you but you need to draw/ flush out the bad stuff first :)
Enjoy the process, you can't evade it anyway.

Your color study looks spot on i'd say..great!!

I've been rewatching Avatar: The Last Airbender and I was inspired to take some screen grabs for studies.  I wasn't sure how I wanted to develop this, thought about trying a color or value study but I ended up just focusing on shapes and lines.  I might develop this further into a fanart later.

I watched Inglorious Basterds for the first time the other night and was inspired to do another study from film.  Forced myself to rely less heavily on color picker and overlay.  Hoping to spend another hour on this tomorrow to finish it.
