Jon-Thank you for the suggestions, Jon. Funny you recommended that book, as I actually have a physical copy of it. By your suggestion I have started working through bits of it, which are displayed below. Design is something I want to get better at, not just for my paintings but also for the comics I have planned.
Meat-Hi Meat, I agree with what you have to say. Thing is, I don't always intend for my stuff to appear as abstract as it does (for example, my first painting of this year), I guess as well as what you're saying I probably need to slow down and spend more time on refining (as has been discussed previously). May I just ask, what specifically should I do in terms of still life drawings to understand forms better? Are there any particular exercises I can do?
Anyway, as I said, after much delay I've started working on the Preston Blair book. I don't have much to show so far (well, I've produced a bit, but a lot of it is crappy, so I won't show that stuff), but I have a couple of pages of basic form practices and applications.
