Recently I've been doing studies, then testing myself from memory to see how much I retained. I just did a study of one of my most favorite portraits on DA by crowgod. You can check it out here. Anyways heres the original.
And heres the first study. Now looking at it, I see I missed alot of edge work and colors in the face
And heres the first study form memory. Yeah realized how little I actually retained and paid attention in the study. Very disappointed, I wanted to redo this over and over again until I was satisfied.
The second from memory
The third from memory
The forth from memory. Trying to get that pale skin tone but made it too pink.
The fifth form memory
And the sixth from memory
I don't know whether it is a good idea to do studies from artists currently in the field and in the end I'm not satisfied with the final result, but I feel that I learned alot more doing this than what I usually would with a study.
