Martijn's book

[Lumens]

Thank y'all for your honest feedback.

I feel the need to clear some air, get my priorities in order.
A year went by without having done anything for my portfolio.
It's like im stuck as a broken record just painting for study's sake.. i believe Dan Warren rightfuly dubbed it study sickness. and its burning me out.
I find it inmensly difficult to break away from it and explore my own ideas.

on the other hand theres the fact that i cant sit still with any one painting method.
experimenting is good but only in moderation, actually this is the source of my ranting, perhaps there are just too many influences for me. maybe i should stay off the internet for some time and work in isolation?

Every time i've tried my hand at gestures or anatomy i freeze up after a couple pages and crawl back to my comfort zone. painting without a purpose.
So my goal is to get over my negative thinking and self doubt, learn how to draw, every day till its just a normal activity.

I suppose consistancy is key. The way i see it learning to properly draw is one of the most valuable things for an aspiring illustrator or any other field for that matter.
It's time to dust of my loomis book and break out mivhael hamton's design and invention.







as always i still fuck up the eyes, jawline and so on. time to have another look at Naythan Fowkes portrait demo.
