Jaik: Thank you - it makes me happy that you like this thumbnail, because it's my favourite as well, everything just fell into place somehow... I actually try to finish more, but very often give up in the middle because I'm stuck. But I will try to finish at least one this time, working on four at the same time right now (Feng Zhu style, haha).
Skin tones are an eternal struggle I think ... especially without reference...
Small update ... portrait from imagination, I don't like it, but I don't know what is off anymore, I pushed around the eyes, nose, jawline etc so often...
And I am starting anatomy studies from the basics again with Proko's figure class. I hope that this might actually help me understand form better and work against the flatness of my drawings. (But first it will make everything ugly again)
