More updates.
So I finished the Sargent study I figured it'd be best to try and copy his brush work as best I can with the basic round, since that's the one I primarily use. I'm not sure if I learned much from it honestly... I suppose the main takeaway was to be more messy with the skin brushwork away from the focal points and use more edges around them, though this seems hard to do on images without strong shadows like this one.
I also redid this...I decided i'm gonna stop working on it if this one turns out a failure as well, I was trying to use the block in brush for as long as I could like the sargent study and work my way down to a soft brush, however it's just not clicking with me as a piece, for one I've lost the solemn expression from the previous one and I don't like his anatomy even with ref i'm having trouble, it's even really far away from what I originally intended which was something waaay more cartoony that I just couldn't pull off.

i'm gonna give myself 1 more hour on it then scrap the project if i'm not liking it, I've already spent waaaay to much time on it and I need to get out of the habit of overpainting pieces that just aren't working, it says something that a similar piece of fan art for the character I worked on back in 2014 was actually better.
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIBCAAAAGESSSS!!!!
Got all 100 done, now I'm working on 100 from imagination I want to make sure I got this shit internalized in my tiny human brain.
