@rafa zanchetin: Thanks dude, albeit I still feel my lines aren't "confident" enough. Thanks also for the reminder, gotta spend time looking for color/value studies that'll motivate me so to speak.
Last week was long and busy with my free time ending up being spent on either sleeping, distractions or worse, procrastination. Didn't want to end the week without a single study so pushed myself to do a few studies last Mar. 28.
More anatomy studies still from IFX..
Damn forearm got really confusing at times and I had to keep referencing my own poorly defined forearm, and some older sketches to wrap my head around some of the forms.

Right now the anatomy studies seem to be taking a big chunk of time as my brain tries to grasp the complex forms and how they interact. I sometimes find myself referring to old sketches and other sources to get a better grasp on the forms and how they work.
I know most of this won't completely sink in even after a good number of studies which leads me to sometimes wonder if "I'm doing it right" so to speak.
And here's a color study of Judge Anderson from Dredd.
Tried Hannes' style of no pen pressure color studies... and I have to say it was a bitch. It felt like painting with a mouse. It was especially jarring for me since it normally takes me anywhere from 10-20 strokes with a pencil to get the contours just right. This no pen pressure thing was scary as hell.
Not fully sure as to what the take away or points to focus on with this kind of exercise. Despite that, it was a fun exercise trying to eyeball colors as close as possible, and then estimate the nearest value/hue changes.

Here's to trying to return to my rhythm on studies again. As always comments and critiques are welcome. Thanks.
