Update!
Chiu assignment, not sure how much more I can do with this, i'd like to move some of the trees and the like round(I got away with moving one of them but had to repaint alot) as I think they could be better placed compositionally, but I can't due to the amount of layers i've been painting over them, I need to sort this stuff out before I begin painting next time XD.
and a very quick small study I did when half asleep, I applied it to the chiu assignment though.
Heads, because i'm sick of not being able to paint people looking up, I seem to have massive trouble drawing or painting people looking up XD, I have'nt painted a 3/4 down or up view in a while but I remember having trouble with that as well so i'll have to do some more heads from that angle soon, strangely enough I don't think I have many problems with just straight down view, I think it's the jaw and shape of the head that get me with the up view.
And i'm trying to study more from different artists after watching this great video from Anthony Jones (Seriously watch it!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kfK46nr...Bra3RmjGag
never liked the whole copy copy mindset honestly, I get extremely bored doing perfect studies and I don't usually feel like i'm learning much if anything as I tend to learn more by just analyzing the image beforehand, still I was'nt sure on how to analyze certain parts of the image like the values, shape and colour and this video really helped me with that.
Also i'm not saying that there's no merit to them copys as he points out, just that I don't believe they're the only type of study people should do.
Anyway, this was made by Cushart Krenz, love this image and I thought it'd be helpful for trying to paint that rin picture, that and the mood is similair to what i'm trying to do I think.
and a bit more work on this, trying to apply some of the study, I was getting a bit bored with this but i'm starting to get much more into it again now, so I ditched the colours for the time being so I can just focus on getting some good values down.
