Here is a 1 hour photo portrait study, 30 minute portrait from imagination, and 30 minute of doing hand studies from Bridgman. Well, I can confidently say today could have been better. My arms are still stressing out. When I'm drawing it feels like something in my arms, mainly my forearms and wrists, are tightening and just makes it uncomfortable to do anything.

If you read my previous super long post then you know I'm trying to be smarter with my brushstrokes, as in few strokes with maximum results. Guess what I did in my studies. Not that. I was just being stupid and doing meaningless strokes, that was neither good for the drawing nor my arms. Also the hand studies, man, doing them on the computer right from the start was a bad choice. I should of went with pencil and paper. I thought doing it digitally would be faster, since I don't have to scan or take pictures.
