Jyonny-Yes, I suppose that is true as well. Oh well, just have to keep trying.
Meat-Fair enough, you are probably right there. I'll try that next time I work with charcoal.
Pnate-Indeed, I think art classes are a good idea. Yeah, it is a shame that I can't learn directly from those in the scientific illustration field. I have heard of scientific illustration classes being held before, but unfortunately not anywhere near where I live. Also on another note, I hope I can come along to one of your streams again soon!
Minksy-Thank you. I'll have a look at NMA and Feng Zhu's stuff. I will keep on, seeing as I feel it's probably the only meaningful thing I do, heh.
I've been thinking more about becoming a scientific illustrator. I suppose I won't know unless I try, even if it is a diminished field. This has got me thinking about what other types of illustration I could do, perhaps stuff for books (as in non-scientific publications). I don't know. I need to get better before I even think about how to sell myself to potential clients.
Anyway, just finished another illustration. I actually kind of like this one. I was compelled to do this one partially by looking at Renaissance portraits, I love the typical use of strong lighting and heavy tones in them.

Right, I'm off to go do some still lifes, I think.
