		Seems like your inclination in these studies s to make the colors less saturated than the reference, for a few of them try going against your instincts and going more saturated than you would. Even if it doesn't wind up perfectly matching the thing you're studying, that's a nice way to get your brain to start seeing things right

		I know they're hard but you're doing awesome! don't be afraid to use that color picker sometimes, i guarantee if you can't get something right it will teach you, and that ultimately, is what you are after ;>

		That sucks about your house flooding. Hope the damage wasnt too bad. If your scanner isnt picking up your sketch pages maybe try going over them with ink. Plus making polished line art can be an invaluable skill to have for illustrators and concept artists alike. Using a brush pen is great practice. It adds a whole new dimension to the dexterity needed in your hand. Plus it will help up your draftsmanship skills.

It's all drained and cleaned up now thank god. Yeah those brush pen things look awesome! But it also appears as though they might have quite a steep learning curve. I most likely will be getting a brush pen in the future but for now I'm just going to use a pen or something. 
 
Sometimes I just get this urge to use pens anyways :D Thanks for the suggestion <3

		Nice work on everything recent! Really admire how much work you're churning out. Those quick still lives have great clarity

:D Thanks! I've been doing loads of pixel locking and masking on these, really helps me to focus on the values of each individual object. Pretty awesome technique! Your gestures are looking great by the way. You were talking about unplugging your internet because you get distracted, well this is something I'm going to end up doing too. I didn't have internet two days ago and I did nothing but paint! I want to push myself to the 8 hours a day thingy too
 
anatomy study huehuehue
  
 
1 and a half hours of messing around because I still can't to colour well
