Flo's sketchbook

[Warburton]

hey man, firstly i'd just like to say your recent stuff is looking really awesome. You've already improved alot since i last dropped by which is great. I love these animal paintings you've done and your linework seems much stronger.
In regards to your post about the Michael Hamton gesture studies, the fact that you got frustated and annoyed by it propabaly is a good thing because it shows that it's well outside your comfort zone and is something that needed addressing. Facing those weaknesses and overcoming them is what ultimately makes us stronger.
sorry it's taken so long to respond to your question too, heres an example of what i meant, i hope this makes it abit clearer

The pic on the right is from Andrew Loomis figure drawing for all it's worth, and shows it best what i meant. If your having abit of trouble practicing this on your computer, try doing it on some paper with pencils, you'll probably find it much easier. That being said i understand what you mean by drawing in photoshop, its a pain and takes practice but it'll come slowly. I also found trying some different brushes helps too, although some advice against that but it works for me. Finding brushes designed for drawing online isnt hard and it might be worth experimenting regardless just to see what works.
I'll stop rambling now ;) keep pushing mate, love your sketchbook
