Some practice from the past few days, finally digging my feet into painting and watercolor.
Really been focused on capturing likeness in a cartoony form, planning on trying portrait commissions in 2017 so prepping for that.
Ive also been taking time to try to think of what type of work i want to do long term, to make sure i dont get stuck in a "study technique loop".
I do feel like I want to try story telling through images, like what Pascal Campion does is amazing -> but i still really want to learn deeper technique (like Krenz Cushart' ability to draw form)
so combining the two into watercolor paintings will be where i am headed for 2017
