Really wanted to try and paint over some photos, so i went out and snapped a few snaps of some buildings in my city, first time really doing this, it was a tone of fun! but harsh on the old noggin.

Great pencil studies! Dont forget to do some drawing from memory and imagination to test if your retaining the information and not just mindlessly copying.

Lots of effort here, good work!

One thing to think about when you paint... I notice you use the soft airbrush a lot when you want to paint rim light or strong light source... this is really evident in your photo paint overs. But I don't think this particular tool is really helping your cause. Light travels in a straight line so this means that among the traps and folds of fabric, or the abrupt transition of one plane to another on an object, there will be some hard edged light. So I encourage to paint in your light and not feather it in... be confident. This will add to the realism and help better describe the volume of the object your are painting. I am not saying the soft air brush doesn't have it's use, but when relied on solely it doesn't really work well. Always, when in doubt about how light interacts with an object source the proper ref! I hope this makes sense:) Cheers.

Awesome man, It's always motivating too see this hard work. I see some things I can criticize but I think its just a matter of time for you considering how much effort you're putting into learning. Keep that momentum goin!
