Today I did a portrait painting from reference and some more gesture with construction.
I find it difficult to work from a photo when painting a portrait, identifying soft vs hard edges is always confusing to me. This portrait ended up a complete mess. I abused the smudge tool![[Image: meh.png]](http://crimsondaggers.com/forum/images/smilies_new/meh.png)
Also, I noticed that whenever I start a painting with line drawing, it always end up flat looking. The only process that "works" for me, is to start with mass blocking directly.
I have to start doing master copies and studies of azaro head planes.
I started the infamous 250 box challenge... need to work on my weakest point ....perspective. I find it almost impossible to make poses from imagination that looks 3D.
