gen5: Thanks man! My pace has kind of slowed down a little but I'll soon be drawing all day every day! only 5 weeks left of current job to go!
EduardoGaray: Ah man, I don't work hard enough right now. At this place everyone is kicking so much ass! I'll only be working hard enough when I finally get some work. I'm a long ways off yet! Thanks for you kind words though!
Going for increased speed. I used to get disheartened when I tried to speed up my gestures since I seemed to sacrifice quality for speed.
Re-listening to Mr.Chiu recently and his free excerpts of "The Perfect Bait" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUuvTSd4hV4) at 1:00, reminded me of a good piece of advice that keeps me plowing through the turd! Something along the lines of when you try to increase your speed you need to expect around a 50% decrease in the the quality of work produced and then work at getting as close to whatever 100% is within the restricted amount of time.
I'm working on 2 minute gestures but want something close to what I could do in 5 minutes and maybe even 10 if its possible. We'll see. Then working on doing the same for imagination which seems to be faster since I'm not looking at ref.
Also some planes studying and an Angry SP around 2 hours. I streamed it but had to re-upload which is taking some time. It should be up soon! Trying out new brushes, not just soft round. I love soft round so much though!
