Thanks Jephyr, you're very kind.
Had a slow week last week. Didn't get much in for practice, other than a self-portrait I'm abandoning, some god-awful ink sketches of people downtown (we didn't stick around for long our fingers were FREEZING), and a little self-indulgent NY resolutions tracker I wanna print out to put above my desk at home and at the studio. I'm getting a lot of inspiration from graphic designers and home decor people lately, kinda wanna explore more graphic elements in my own stuff.
Not much to say for this batch. I really didn't like the colour pallete and angle for the portrait, so I'd rather start over. I do one of these once a year and use them as my facebook/artstation icon, so I'd rather make something I can tolerate. I'm a little happy to report I improved in detecting subtle hue and colour transitions, so there's that. Even at an early stage I definitely lost control of my edges and values though. I'm curious to see if this year's will be any better than the last one. I haven't rendered anything in ages.
