Eristhe- Yes definitely, thank you! That's something I've struggled with for years, with figures along with everything else. Trying to not mindlessly copy my reference is a never ending battle I will probably always deal with. And thank you for reminding me of Hampton, I've looked over his stuff in the past and loved it but forgot about it! So I'll be sure to go over it more this week.
I don't have much to post right now, as I didn't do much this past weekend. I hope all my fellow Americans enjoyed their 4th just as much as I did! I took advantage over the long weekend and went camping with my family, which was really nice. It rained some but once it stopped the weather was lovely and we ate lots of ice cream and hot dogs. I also got a few sketches of tourists posing in front of waterfalls, hahhaha.
But all that aside, it was a nice weekend to look on past work and reflect on my stuff. So for the next two months, I'm going to give myself some small goals:
- Work on doing better lines and messier, more impressionistic painting style.
- Studyyyy. Learn to study better, too, by making sure the info sinks in better so I don't forget immediately
- Have at least 3 finished pieces by September
- Try to keep the goal of drawing 3-4 hours a day, 4 days a week, but don't beat yourself up if you don't meet it every day.
These next two months are going to be more hard core and I'll hopefully be making strides. I'll post some more stuff tomorrow. Cheers!
