Leyendecker Study
Focusing on the brushwork, noting on how the brushstroke follows the form

[Brian Hermelijn]

Would be interesting to see you applying those study notes into your own work, after all that's also part of retaining/remembering what you studied, I feel.

I am learning as well, so this is simply my observation after going through your whole sketchbook. So shall leave with a video in regards to "Finish not perfect", that way can maybe push you to start applying those studies/create personal pieces more often ^^

Keep going, keep practicing, and most importantly keep fighting the good fight, Chris.

Hey there Brian Hermelijin , Thanks for the feedback and linking me the video

I always liked Jake parker videos on how to think about art, 
This really applies to me. I always wants everything to be perfect ,which makes  every piece that i did took a long time :P.
I'm currently working on a piece and i will keep that in mind " FINISH NOT PERFECT "

Arm form study

[Artloader]

Awesome studies here Chris. I like the way you are using 3D models as a study aid.

You illustration is looking great - just watch that right thigh (just above the knee) it seems to be slightly chunkier than the left thigh - might just be me though :).

Keep it going - looking forward to more!
