Thanks Valve. Definitley give oils a go if you have the time. You definitely have the skills so I'm sure you'll figure it out just fine. Just like any other medium, it has its pluses and minuses. The pluses being that it dries slow, so you can manipulate it as you wish and come back to it the next day and change stuff. The down side imo, is that its more difficult to get hard edges. Good brushes can help though.
"active marks in lights and passive in shadows" is a comment I wrote down from my teacher Carl Dobsky. I'm taking a figure drawing class with him and he mentioned that my shading had too much visible hatching and marks. He said it's better to have more active marks in the lights and have them more subtle and blended in the shadows. Unless the focus is on shadows of course.
