Update on the master study.
Didn't quite make as much progress as I was hoping. Took Josephs advice and reworked the drapery some more (thanks for pointing out btw). Not sure if the differences show aswell on my phone photo or not? Still needs abit more work, particularily her shirt.
Started painting the face, definitely a challenge! especially those tight value transitions. Spent an entire day yesterday and that was as far as I could take it. Think some of my darks are a tad too light (mainly the shadows in the eyes) but it might be a few weeks before I can finish it as my classes start this week.
Life Drawing
A mixture of some portrait and life work from the last few weeks
Portrait
I've been trying an approach recently of loosely blocking in the overall shape first and then applying some loose construction, and once that looks ok start doing my shadow mapping and simply designing what I see (as per Erik's appraoch from last term).
Felt like going back into some construction last week.
Life
Still really hate how my work from life keeps turning out, just think it looks really ugly most of the time. I'm guessing it's mainly due to the time constraints of the class as they are only 2 hours total and for the live streaming classes I'm spending 3 hours on my drawings and they look alot better. Still I'm hoping that diving back into studying next week I'll start seeing some much needed improvements.
