@darktiste Thanks for the suggestions. I can see what you mean with a more focused study to spend the optimal amount of time on what's most needed. And yea, hair texture/rendering is something I still am trying to better understand, gotta practice more!
@_spec Thanks dude! appreciate it! I think my main thing that I struggle with in regards to Ruan Jia's rendering is the way he builds up color and brushstrokes.
Here is a sketch from imagination. Started out on an iPad, then brought it into Photoshop to fix up values/cropping. I did a quick color pass over it also to see where I may take this in the future.
I'm still unsure if I should do the grayscale to color technique, or start in full color. I guess I just need to experiment and paint more to see what works best, but let me what any of you think, thanks!
