Also some face sketches from photos.
Tried the random character generator, got a bunch of reference images and was all ready, but it went pretty bad. Found myself relying off the reference images too heavily for the pose and proportions of the body :s and it only got worse when I started sketching in the clothing. just gotta keep practicing anatomy, and full figures for a bit longer until I'm ready I think.
Feeling a bit more confident/comfortable with digital sketching now at least.
Man you improved a lot with the Gorilla studies and that last portrait!
If you want to go deeper into construction of imaginative stuff you should read Hogarth or Bridgman, they are great for that. On the Gorilla I like esspecially, that you used some bigger strokes to show of the forms. You could try this method more often, to block in the shadows and light with fewer strokes when studying. This will improve you'r three-dimensional understanding.
You got the spirit! Keep up the good work :)
