ANDREW GIBBONS SKETCHBOOK

Continued doing some mortal Kombat Portraits









Particularly happy with Kintaro,
I came across some brushes from Justin Gerard on Art Station and some of them I immediately was enjoying using.
here's a link for those into brushes

I'm using these portraits to practice several things.
developing technique in painting, speed of execution, adapting from references and breaking away as needed.
trying to not be held to the reference to tight, party by gaining confidence in knowledge of structure light and anatomy. Learning some good design notes by trial and error.
playing with painting approaches
doing this as a series to practice working within some restrictions, adapting characters, some of which have very little existing visuals to go on.
it's fun..

I think it's most economical studying with clear intent as to the particular areas you with to make gains in..
have a good day person reading this...
