So not a massively productive week so far, but ive been reading that Loomis creative illustration book - man its got some tasty nuggets! I like to have a book to read in the side lines, that way you are constantly looking out for ways to refine techniques. Some work and some fail.
So today a 5 hour study - was a figure study partially, but also trying out some tonal composition and working within the tonal limits of a given object, so trying to treat this whole thing like a still life. Essentially im trying not to go all over the place with the values and trying to use more greys!
I'm partially satisfied with this one, but it was more of a struggle than i wanted. I'm not sure where the ref is from
