Joseph's shiny new sketchbook

[Jephyr]

Excellent updates.  Your portraits, studies and those still-lifes are so tasty.  Your sense of lighting is exceptional.  They stand alone as great pieces so it's hard to image what you would do if you had more time than just a few hours.

Thanks, man. I'm working on one now that's supposed to be more refined and I'm actually really struggling with it lol. It's actually quite hard to push past the kind of impressionist stage, for me anyways. But I'll figure it out.

Yeah, adding polish to a piece is a particular challenge that definitely requires more time — and I KNOW you will 'figure it out' it as you work at it. 

Please post it as you do.

Ciao
