Todays 1 hour studies on each image :x
Advoided using any linework underneath since I know I have the habit of committing to the line once it's drawn and painting is out of my comfort zone.

Definitely an interesting excercise. I think tomorrow will be hitting some environmental studies..

These are very nice, a great start to your sketchbook! :)

You're hitting the middle values quite well. I'd suggest slowing it down, really observing and spending a few solid hours each trying to make some finished study. This helped me a lot, as I too am weak with painting. The speed will come as you become comfortable.

Kudos on painting without lines, I do it too, it's very challenging but really rewarding :)
Check out this video by kawayoo, it's inspiring to see the freedom that you can eventually attain from painting this way.

Hi! (It's Shez from last Sunday's Sketch-A-Thon :D)

Have you tried using wrapping lines for your figures? I found this really helped me think of them in 3d.

:0 o hey there! lol I wasn't expecting replies and things so quickly since I still have a few other things to upload haha.

Lungcell - I do have a couple of other longer studies atm. Just working on something else in the mean time and collecting resources before I finish one of them off :D I checked out the video and it seems really interesting lol. The way the artist thinks and creates is a little beyond me atm but maybe I will understand it a little better some day soon. D:

Scheherazade - Hii :0 I don't think I have used that sort of technique before but will give it a try! I just finished a year in 3d animation/modeling which has helped me think about my drawings in 3d a lot more than before so I'm not entirely sure if I already subconsciously think about these things etc lol

Anyways, Hopefully I'll have a few more other things to update with soonish. I kinda do it in blocks lol

[Chiritsu]

So this is what I've done recentlyish in order. Not everything I do is uploaded lol D:

Forgot that this was another study I had done D:
