Dodeqaa, I can't tell you how appreciative I am of the advice I've gotten from you in this sketchbook :) You've made that piece 100% better.
Holidays have gotten the better me and I've been spending a lot of time with friends, family and mostly just playing games as well, so I haven't been practicing much.
It's interesting though, I started a piece and slowly worked on it over the course of about 3-4 days. In total I probably spent a good 15-20 hours on it, and I absolutely hated the end result (which is why I won't post it here). One thing I began to notice with most of my work was that I made a lot wasted brushstrokes. Having a lot of strokes doesn't automatically mean that it's more detailed; it's probably very amateurish. I realized that it was because my strokes weren't confident.
Anyways enough blabbering, here's a piece I did in about 2 hours that I'm much more satisfied with.
