A quick study/practice referenced from a portrait found on DrawCrowd by an artist named Xiao. and a quick draw from imagination wind down of a movie I recently saw.

Wanted to see if i could squeeze a quick study in before the week ended and 2.5 hrs. and 19 layers later I end up with this:

I'm noticing that I'm having a lot of difficulty eyeballing proportions and distance. It's like I have to draw it bad 4-5 times, and then keep adjusting it with paint overs again and again.
And even when I get it somewhat right, the moment I start to work on the finer details I end up displacing stuff bit by bit until it's way off again.

Sometimes the paint over and correcting gets too much that very little of the original is left. Like with the previous Ben10 piece, where much of the dynamic feel of it was gone as I ended up painting out exaggerations because I was (over)correcting proportions.
