Sula - woop woop!! 
Alright, so it's already Nov 1st here in 'roo town, so here we go!
My main goal was getting likeness down! Considering the last SP day I participated back in 2013 turned out like poopy regarding that... I really wanted to work on that weakness for this year's entry! I'll never forget a crit I received in my sketchbook; something along the lines of "likeness is dependent on nailing head structure more than anything". So if anyone is having trouble with getting likeness down - take a deep breath, keep calm and paint simple shapes. This comes back to perspective training and all that good stuff. Gah, I can't wait to study now!!!
I've learned a ton. Not just from this SP, but from the 17 other SP's I did (aka my"not a #GPOY" series in my skb lol) during Oct in prep for this. By doing one almost everyday and then leaving 1/2 a month before I did another (today's) is what sunk in all the knowledge from those said studies.
Would've taken less time had I not been changing angles looking @ the mirror/literally leaving the house twice during the study lmao
but oh well, ~4.5hrs
