WHEW! I'm back! Ahahaha. When I got up to do my figures yesterday, I accidentally started reading One piece... and well, like 120 chapters later my day was pretty wasted. THANK GOD I hit a boring part, so I made up for the ones I missed and did the ones for today as well. UvU

It's pretty funny to me how much harder dudes are for me than girls. Ahahaha! Worry not, though, I have a plan of attack!
I finally figured out what I want to really tackle in terms of human anatomy studies. I want to make human anatomy a habit, and a deep intrinsic knowledge.
I am going to keep doing 12 figure sketches like this every day, with equal amounts of male and female. I'll either do it day by day or 6x6, depending on how I'm feeling. :O These are intended to help me practice gesture/moving the figure in space/drawing humans as a habit/posing/etc. Good place to practice.
I want to start every day with a master study of a male figure as a warm-up, so I can get a grasp on how other artists create an appealing male figure and perhaps speed up the process for myself!
Then, throughout the week I want to do 3 photo referenced buff figures where I break down and draw out every muscle on the figure.
Finally, once a week I want to take one of the three photos I did a breakdown on, and do a lit form study on it to practice rendering/how the anatomy shows itself on the surface.
I want to complete all of this every week before Friday at 5:30 pm my time, when I will go to the two hours of free life drawing and try to apply what I've been studying there. :O
Once a week I would also like to take a small section of musculature and learn its attachments and actions as though I was studying for a test. Combine everything I learn into the smaller figure studies so that they improve in quality and correctness.
This is a lot of stuff...! I am confident that if I manage my time and sanity well, I can do this much + my other drawing goals. I'm coming to a point in my life where I want to make learning human anatomy and executing fundamental basics an absolute priority in my life.
I've also been wanting to do some traditional painting to practice master copies/learn more about color mixing and stuff so I broke out the oils and tried some paint blending exercises:

The incident I have these oils from was over two years ago and was a TOTAL disaster so it's safe to say I have no reasonable oil experience except that I'm wanting to try it now. ^u^ So, more on that later! (Who knows how much later)
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! n_n
