Pax's Progress

[Pax]

Figure it's better to start back up later than never. I've accepted that art will probably be a hobby for me for the rest of my life, but I'd still like to practice it to fill my time on something other than video games. If I manage to end up spending a long amount of time on art again I'll try for Sheridan again next year.

If I do figure studies sometime in the near future, it'll 100% have to be with the reference beside it and checked via the transparency tool and overlaying. At this point in my development there's no reason why I shouldn't be shooting for accuracy and a strong sense of proportion and I think I have a way better chance of getting a strong sense of it by actively checking and redoing the basic skeleton I have outlined. In a way these were an absolute waste of time for me to do this way, but at least I know now. Same thing for the animal studies, except I should also be looking for the purpose and function of the forms of the animal once I establish a sense of proportion and the basic forms of the animal, probably followed by a dissection sketch or some anatomical study where appropriate. Better something than nothing though, I guess.
