So, a new month means new plans.
October Goals:
1. Stick more closely to set routine, studies scheduled need to ONLY be related to projects I'm working on too! I'll state reasons for each study and it's application to keep tabs on if I'm doing it or not.
2. I need to do full figure gestures and some quick head value studies every day before proceeding with other studies or project work. 30mins of 2minute gestures and 30 mins of 5 - 10 minute head studies on work days. 1 Hour of 2 minute gestures and 1 hour of 5 - 20 minute heads on days off (all before doing any other work from imagination).
I'm going to leave it at that for this month and make sure I nail this. Still following other deathline goals etc.
Here's my routine again, only 3 and a half weeks left!

Going to fill the sheet with sketches of the girl hunter character in various poses, actions and possible costumes.!

Some sketch that started out on my Fujitsu Lifebook T2010. Funny that Sickbrush mentioned using 'Slates' tonight. No ref, trying hard with colours. I need to start organising 'palettes' using swatches in Photoshop. After finishing the colour chapter of Loomis' 'Creative Illustration' I feel much more equipped to get organised.

Sorry, I'm dissapointed that this is all I've got. The truth is that last week was the Chinese Mid-Autumn festival so I had 3 full days with my girlfriend for the first time in forever and I spent it stuffing my face at her families houses and watching 2 seasons of The Walking Dead and only drawing a minimal amount. I've been a bad bad boy. Time to reconcile!
Big thanks to Sickbrush for his Concept Art class. I was surprised that the first assignment is so much fun. Straight into drawing heads! It's 4am here now! Following his classes will kill me while I'm finishing up the last 3 weeks of my full-time job but it's soooooo worth it! The information is so valuable to me right now. All of the mentoring classes couldn't be coming at a better time! Better schedule all the class times in when they are announced!
