Thanks for explaining that to me! I will do more master studies. The professors did suggest that and had us do one back in undergrad, but I didn't follow through because I thought "I don't wanna waste expensive oil paint and canvas and storage space on making copies I can't do anything with!" Bad. Idea.
For the movie screen studies, there is a webpage somewhere out there full of screenshots of Raider of the Lost Arc. That film is full of strategic lighting, and I'd recommend it. It's one of the things on my artistic To-Do list, and that I never got to so far. I think if you're going to do screen studies, might as well go for films with well-done lighting. But of course if you dislike Film Noir, you won't be studying them no matter how well their lighting was done...
For the Minotaur, might I humbly suggest some fur elsewhere on his body? I know he's supposed to be a man with ox head, but some fur other than on the head might contribute to continuity of a being overall, and avoid the risk of him looking like he's wearing a mask.
