PLAYTIME W/ JAKTRAYTER

[John]

----drawing creatively from imagination (just means I have to continue to draw from imagination and not fear the ugly shit. be more playful and correct my mistakes. Pay attention to what walls i hit: push the extent of my knowledge)

At the same time, never be afraid to use references if you're struggling to make it out or when something looks off. Google is your friend. Since you have a tendency to do character based design, grab a mirror and you can always use yourself as reference.

-----studying form/value and having the information stick (currently rendering anatomy studies and mapping anatomy on the muscle masses)

Value also depends on the material and how lighting is set up.

--------MASTER PAINTINGS: i want to know there purpose and when to study them, and how to apply the knowledge to my work!

To know their thought process by trying to walk in their shoes. Kinda like reverse engineering. Constantly ask 'why would this person do such and such'. To understand the thought behind a piece.

Props for studying and the actual application of the studies.

Good luck Jak.
