Would you like to come up and see my etchings?
Thanks Irish. I dont mean to sound all emo. When you get really into figure drawing and you do it every day I was doing your standards get a lot higher. I only do figure drawing once a week at most now so I've noticed I've gone backwards a bit. All my best figure drawings are from a 6 months to a year ago. Its not a huge deal since skills are easier to get back up once you've attained them the first time. Next year i'll be diving into more intense figure and portrait drawing again.

So heres some stuff i havnt gotten a chance to post. Also I went to the museum.

I really really reeeeally like those thumbnails from the class you're taking. I can see so much improvement from some not-much-older thumbnails you've done.
Also the old man painting is awesome, is it gouache? I really wanna learn that media someday.

meat, its was great! I didnt realize they had a Bouguereau and a Sargent. They're freaking MASSIVE paintings too. I had to stand in front of them and hold my phone as high as I could reach to get a close up shots of the faces.

Hey, I recently found that focusing on one aspect in my studies is very beneficial and I'm giving this piece of advice to pretty much everyone. By doing everything at once you don't see much progress quickly and your brain doesn't have enough time to digest information and get into the right flow. So maybe it would be better if you picked one thing, studied the crap out of it for a few days then move to something else.

Adam it's for Environment design rocks, right? I like the night scene idea. I haven't finished my project, too, but I'm going to do it. Perhaps after the next Crucible.
Piotr seems to be a great advice, I'll try it out, too. I actually like diving deep into stuff but make myself multitask because I've got so much to learn.

Thanks for the advice guys. I focusing on painting and color since I dont really do much of it. I did some color studies from photos I took at the museum a while back.

Those studies are looking nice btw. Master studies are just gold, they've really helped me improve a lot.
