@Janos: Thank you so much! Glad you like my stuff (:
@Tygerson: Thank you so much!!! I aim to bring more variety into my stylized figures, so I'm trying to expand my visual library when I can. Vanderpoel really has a sweet collection of nose examples. And I can only recommend drawing from life! It's always really beneficial, and as for the life figure drawing, I just started going by November last year I think but I don't ever want to miss it XD
@Nowio: Thanks! Glad you like them, and yeah, as I stated above! The reason I really got into this is my frustration with all those stereotype 0815-Manga-Faces where you can only tell the characters apart thanks to their hairdo. Definitely working on that! I think for life drawing it's not only gestures that are important but also a solid construction (:
Have a small update. I think I'm really missing my quiet hours where I just sketch from imagination in my sketchbook...also I miss practicing figure drawing. I feel like the work I'm practicing is all out of order to the point where I'm getting confused and frustrated after a while, but well, going to figure things out. 2 digital from imagination. When I like the colours, the values are all over the place, when I think the values are going into a good direction then the composition is really out of balance...can't have it all, eh XD One watercolour study from life, still using too many layers on these, a watercolour doodle from imagination, faces losely based on photos to expand my knowledge of face shapes etc. I discovered biro again for sketching!

Sometimes I really get doubts about painting. I mean, I really love clean, beautiful lines and stylized work, and I seem to be able to pull out quite nice lines as well...so...sometimes I think why I get myself frustrated with painting so much?! GAH. I sometimes think I'm just confused about how I want my work to look like orz
