Why not instead of coloring, spend time refining the forms and making the likeness better?
"will do 30 portraits this month *just* quick ones.
im happy with how this turned out, *just* wanted some mild pushing of the features
*just* playing around."
The word "just" in short to me sounds like "justifiably" like youre trying to qualify what youre doing. You know youre drawings need work, why not work on it? you can do that within your 30 portrait goal my dude :)
Answer:
I'm choosing what I want to focus on and having fun
the first one I was playing with different brushes, the 2nd I just wanted to understand color and value distribution of the painting I was referencing, the 3rd is just about values and read and the 4th i wanted to push the features and retain the character.
I don't want to spends hours on each one. I wanna do 30 in a month as a challenge to paint consistently and get a bit of study in, next to putting in hours to the personal work that I spends 20 odd hours rendering each.
I'm trying to keep it fun but ill do a nice drawn one next time and hope that satisfies ya ;)
as a counter point I know the amount of studies you do is very commendable, but i think it would be cool for you to attempt more fully realized personal work along side the studies.
my suggestion but I don't know your intentions with art so each to their own anyway.
PS: how do you get your sketchbook to link to the most recent page? haha
