Thanks Othrandir! Ive had a long think and will do a little composition reading as i do more figures and portraits.
Did this image from ref today, took 6 hours - i think the work flow im using seems to help a lot - ive been thinking about it over the past few months and trying to think how i could make short cuts. Having a solid drawing says SO MUCH pain, so ill never skimp on that again. I picked this ref for the expression and the mid tones - ive neglected thema lot. Sorry about the shitty back ground - a waekness is that the lighting is deff off, but happy how it turned out. Not painted much in a while. Still have a few hours worth of that faigin book to read, but will do lots of figures and portraits. Another weakness is hair rendering - I really have to sit down one day and figure a work flow with that, its always such a struggle.
