Hey thanks for visiting my sketchbook <3. You're doing some good work and looks like you've been working hard recently :). Since it seems like you've been trying to get into digital painting, I would suggest for now to paint with the hard round brush. It will help you group your shapes and values more and I would suggest trying to get a better reference, like a figure drawing video where you could take a screenshot. The boxers reference is a cool pose, but their sweat can make the photo pretty confusing. Another thing is doing some form studies to try and help forming a sense of depth.

Hey thanks for checking out my stuff. Yeah combat sports are pretty difficult to draw due to a multitude of reasons. The sweat, conveying movement, multiple bodies in odd positions, several hard light sources on the subject matter, etc. I'm having a lot of fun on this one though so I think I'll stick with it for now. I think I'll do a grappling one next.

Been busy with work, the holidays, and driving school so I don't have much done for this one.
