Hey
Just wanted to add a little something about measuring angels: mileage helps but learning how to take your time and improve concentration will instantly improve your ability to measure – when drawing from life or ref that is.
Proko’s video on measuring is really good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzDGO0LssEM
If you’re drawing digitally there is a bunch of ways to check your accuracy too, such as dragging your image to overlay ref to see how they match or drawing guides over the ref image and placing it over your drawing.
If you are going for accuracy it will always take a whole lot of time and be a bit tedious, no matter how good you get. It’s not the only way to create an image though so eventually it becomes a case of deciding what works best for you/ what is the purpose of the image. it's a good thing to study either way.
Idea of an alternative to measuring: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8F4OQcfYEOw
(this is all just opinion, nought of it is fact)
Keep going man, that last masters study was all kinds of good.
