neopatogen - Hey thanks neo n_n ! You're a LOK fan!? *high fives*! Haha uh-oh, well I hope you're prepared to witness a buttload of fails lmao -- oh and yes! That exercise helped me out a lot! Defs give it go!
________________________________________________________________________________________________
Friday means it's update time!
Not much to show, just some:
still life studies
for the first time ever I used a photo for a self portrait study. It was... both good and bad. It was good because the shot was softer and the forms were hard to read, so it really made me work to push the forms from my head. Also good because - finally, a different expression! A more al naturale look, if you will. This is legit how I look, without pulling a face
The negative was that the colours from the photo sucked, the lighting sucked. It would be hard to learn much from photo-based self portraits only (that is if you're taking the photo on your shitty phone camera. Photo studies in general with a decent camera are... alright).
I really played with the expression and exaggerated the forms to give more character.
Character studies
Selected frames from "The Losers" - one of my fave movies
(Civil War was the shit, I want to watch it at least 20 times over omfg ;-;)
more studies
Notes: I feel like I've managed to break through a wall I've been struggling to surpass for months.
I finally feel like I'm in the game again. That I'm in the same head-space I'd possessed when I began the odyssey
Just gotta keep consistent baaaaaaaaaaaabyyyyyyyyyy
'til next time!

I'll be back - it's an odyssey, after all
