Short studies, first two are in photoshop , which I just downloaded (trying to get used to it to start painting in, usually use Clip studio Paint, but that can take awhile unless you keep it simple).
I'm doing some more later, but I have a lot of client work to do today so I'' have to make them aster, maybe some gesture drawing for one of them.
With the first page of studies in page 1 of my sketchbook, I would aim for 60-90 min per study. Now, it's going toward 45-30 to 20. That's out of laziness, and I need to take more time to focus- starting tomorrow, when I won't have as much clint work, lol.![[Image: Untitled-2_copy.PNG]](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545098090374496269/548919302724648990/Untitled-2_copy.PNG)

Again, not paying much attention to color here in the pear one, focusung on form and struccture on these and really not thinking about making them look pretty. I'll do some full length studies tommorrow and really challenge all aspects.
@Darktiste
Yeah, that's kind of how I'm thinking about it, like studies are the practice runs and the testing grounds for my other work, but then there's also 'practice how you want to perform,' which I also see the value in. I don't know!!! Lol, improving at art is like following a ball down a series of escalators. I don't do similies.
Just noticed a tendancy I have to elongate the ribcage and squash the head! I'll keep an eye on that

1. Use the biggest brush possible for a given passage.
2. Paint large shapes first, followed by small shapes.
3. Save your tonal and chromatic accents until the last.
4. Try to soften any edge that doesn’t need to be sharp.
5. Take time to get the center of interest right.
Or, the briefer version: (B.L.A.S.T.)
Big brushes.
Large to small.
Accents last.
Soften edges.
Take your time.
