Pax's Progress

[Pax]

Goal met. 4.5 h today, a lot more time spent on careful observation before the pencil is put down. The dragonflies were free and loose, whereas the leaf was done using a botched sight size method. Used comparative measuring for the still life, but I got lazy come to adding the values and I got frustrated with the ellipses. Major areas of focus are construction, working on the figure (by drawing first then checking with a skeleton model) and building a visual memory from which I can do ideation sketching with later. Need to do more master studies and pay way closer attention to value. Once I got a stronger understanding of value I'd like to move to more accurate drawing. Thinking of Bargue copies for those.
