thanks!
I just had a seminar (dynamic sketching) that also focuses on form and 3D shapes, and at drawing class we do studies of hands/feet etc, focussing on proportion.
But I discovered again how important 3D thinking is and building up your painting when I did this study of Caravaggio's 'Judith Beheading Holofernes'.
This is how I started, just painting what I saw mindlessly
But this is what happened when I tried to focus on the 3D shape all the time
I KNOW RIGHT?! Damn! Much less awful! :D
Also, brushstrokes look a bit looser, more natural, but I'm still not there yet :P
I've done some studies of Loomis before, and it's interesting, and I KNOW it's a REALLY good book for artists, but sorry I almost fall asleep looking at it :')
I'll try again soon, shouldn't be complaining haha.

Hmmm must've picked up the wrong book back then but this looks ok :)
