Laura-I'm so sick of this image, but I'm still trying!
Jones- Thanks dude!
Sickbrush- :D
So I've been in the studio for about three weeks now. As much as I've wanted to focus on illustration, I have had to do a lot of traditional oil studies as I've gotten kind of rusty. I spend about 46 hours a week working between painting, life drawing, Bargue studies, and my commercial portfolio. I can't stress how amazing it has been to just sit and focus on work. Right now I'm working on an oil painting that's going to be 7' x 7', so the planning is sapping up illustration time. But it's all good. I will probably have to be a bit more realistic about the time span for finishing up my portfolio, especially as I want it to reflect my abilities at their best. Anyways, this is my studio, rough sketch of my oil painting composition, and an update.
