wld.89: Thanks for the tip, I'll give it a try!
Artloader: Thank you! Yes indeed I'm studying from Hampton's book. I prefer his process over Loomis. I find Loomis very difficult, specially posing the mannequin with the muscle frame, without understanding of anatomy. I prefer his "head and hand" drawing book.
Kaiko: Thank you for your support. You're right, I should start varying my line weight to give more depth. I'll start implementing that.
Zorrentos: Thank you for your kind words. Not yet I'm not confident enough in my skills to do work from imagination. Whenever I try, It end up a complete mess or I need to constantly check for references.
I have the mental image, but putting it on paper is another story. It involves so many skills at the same time, perspective, environment design, anatomy, proportion, light and color that I feel overwhelmed.
I think I'm going to give myself some time (and more practice) before attempting an illustration from imagination.
I'm actually not sure about the process, do I start doing work from imagination now, even if it's a complete crap at the end or do I wait do get basic skills for that.
Skeffin: Thank you so much. I'll check that once I finish the 250 boxes challenge, it takes more time than I thought.
Didn't have time to post these days so here are some sketches for today (yesterday's one also).Mostly 1min and 2min gesture and anatomy studies. Some are from imagination, I got to apply what I learn.
