Back with some studiess

So i saw something that Anthony jones did, that i sort of used to do in the back of my mind, but seeing him do it inspired me to do it consciously. Basically its just to test yourself every once in a while, seeing where you're at and what you need to improve on, and then focus on that for a while. I know it sounds basic and most of you folks prolly already do this, but I thought id share anyways!

So here was my self evaluation, which I was surprised with. I had a pretty easy time doing most of those (about 30-60 mins each). Theres still some awkwardness in some of them but i feel ive come a good way.


I noticed i needed to work on limbs, so i set out to do some quick studies, these ones 15-30 minutes, and the last one 60 or so







And then from imagination

45-60 min


15 min


60~ min. Could have fixed a lot in the head but im gonna leave it for now


Cant even begin to say how much fun that was and how much i LEARNED! Doing many short studies where faithfulness to the picture isnt the goal is soooo great. Definitely continuing with this in the future

Derpy sketch,


I also have couple more head/colour studies, 15/1000 @_@ Maybe i should do some speedies of heads next time lol:D
