Nate's Sketchbook

[Flakari]

did some more studies from Micheal Hampton's book, and drew a face from photo reference. I feel that my faces have more solid construction and I'm retaining what I've been studying. (See 7-28(1).jpg for comparison) That said, I took a crack at color painting from reference, something I haven't done in a long, long time and it shows. I have a trouble picking colors and just painting in general, and I'd like to get better at it, it's a rough start. Any tips for things to watch out for on my next study? General critiques also super cool and wanted.

I added the photo reference so there's something to compare.
