What ImSkeptical learnt this week (Sketchbook)

[ImSkeptical]

Ursula - Thanks :D. Planning hurts the brain, wish it wasn't so important xD. Good point with making my own ref for merlin, i might do that while adding more colorful elements that Dan suggested.

JakeB - Thanks man, but looking at your sketchbook you seem to be doing way more then me :(, i feel so lazy xD.

Dracken - Thanks. For the schedule, i'm probably going to change it, but its just keeping in mind all those things people say are good for learning. Like making sure to revise stuff, doing something over several days/weeks and not just once or twice, forcing me to write notes and try and memorise them, forcing me to not just do studies :D. I would go into more detail, but like i said im planning on changing it because i just got an ipad, and want to do lots of plein air paintings now :D!

florentK - Thank you! Congratulations to you too :D.


So like i mentioned i got an ipad! I got a used 3, because it was cheap, with the new models out. Looking at art on it is spectacular, especially with the cghub app, it totally shows you all the artists. All of them. I did waste maybe a day playing around with it, but now i got it setup so i can paint this hot Australian summer. Its very hot :(. Other than that, a little bit less work this week because of me being lazy, and my friends finishing exams so some partying. I get my one day of break okay, this stuff is hard xD. Here's the things!



For the ref for these portraits, it's Kimbra on youtube, some nice hd live performances.





The cleanup for Dan's mentoring. I want to apply Dan's crit before i post Merlin on DA though.


Thats this week. I did a little ipad stuff but haven't bothered working out how to post what i do on it yet, but that shouldn't be an issue. Hopefully I'll have all kinds of cool lighting around the house and backyard painted for next week! Thanks for looking/reading!
