another study coming in a couple hours, the inked woman was actually an extra from a couple days ago! I got an MRI yesterday and that threw me off, but I'm back in. Going live on twitch at 7:00, after I figure out how to add music https://www.twitch.tv/gr8blud

I just want to add really quick, while I do try to make long, pretty lines, I found out yesterday that I do have a brain disease that affects my muscular control. I don't know if it's possible for me to draw with clean lines, unless I spend a lot of time, like on my barbarian commission, but I'm not going to use that as my crutch on learning good draftsmanship. I want to make this even more of a goal for myself now that I've got a doctor's confirmation of my suspicions, and this isn't something that I will let hold me back. It's called olivopontocerebellar atrophy, if anyone's wondering what I'm talking about.
I also got on antidepressants right around the time I joined the forum! Anyone suffering from depression, I understand how terrible and demotivating and cripp;ing that can be, and I encourage you to see a doctor about medication. My prescription was only $5 (I mean, the consultation and diagnosis was, LOL, $200, so :/ ) so it can be affordable espescially if you consider it an investment in yourself and your productivity as an artist. Which, by the way, we spend like 90% of our time alone thinking in abstract mathematical equations, basically- you're really vulnerable to lapses in your mental health, and I think that should be your top priority in this field.
Since I've noticed my antidepressants start working, I've been infinitely more productive, and I can draw for hours on end now, and I don't even have to drown myself with music when I sleep. The silence doesn't scare e so much anymore.
Anyway, I love you guys, this community is great and I'm glad it's held on for these years it's been out of the 'forefront.' Let's keep pushing eachother and all be professionals in the same field.
P.S. Anyone who wants to join me in google hangouts or something when I'm streaming, message me and we can work and talk together sometime. I do studies and personal work on stream sometimes, gonna try doing it daily from now on. Maybe I'll even make a group on here for it? Like a second coming of Dave Ropoza, lol.

1. Use the biggest brush possible for a given passage.
2. Paint large shapes first, followed by small shapes.
3. Save your tonal and chromatic accents until the last.
4. Try to soften any edge that doesn’t need to be sharp.
5. Take time to get the center of interest right.
Or, the briefer version: (B.L.A.S.T.)
Big brushes.
Large to small.
Accents last.
Soften edges.
Take your time.
