Hey guys. It's been too long! I'm sad to say that I've been slacking. I wish I could just blame life, but I have no one to blame but myself.

But, just 'cause I haven't been posting here doesn't mean I haven't been painting. I've been pretty active on the Spitpaint group on facebook and I've polished up a few other things. Here's a few of the Spitpaints I was really happy with, along with one image containing Spitpaints I didn't like (shitpaints, if you will).















(Happiest with this one here)



Managed to squeeze in one anatomical study here. Left is referenced. Right is memory.



Made some more headway (heh) on this portrait. Real happy with it so far, but there's still a bunch of stuff left to be done. I also gotta bring Sascha's portrait (blond cop above) more in line with this guy since she looks way more stylized.

So, with that big update, here's what I learned I need to work on:
Economy and stroke confidence. I noodle around like crazy and I think it's big reason why most of my spitpaints suck, and why it takes me forever to work on more involved pieces. I know studying Sargeant's paintings or just studying photos with an arbitrary stroke limit will help with that.

Can you guys recommend any other exercises that will also improve stroke economy?
