nice studies!

Love the helmet study :D

Contrary to what you might think, this is not some deep statement about beauty.
I just had a really weird dream about a remedy against bad skin...

Also did this from scratch without refs so I'm quite pleased with that.

Morning 4
Started out as sort of a study but now its just a referenced doodle.

life practice

Wow, what a difference. Comparing the knigt, from photo ref and the last one form life.
You really payed more attention to what You see in life than in photo.
You used more colors, which is good, because skin color is not only one color, You used bounced colors, ligts. All these details that makes painting more real and not so flat.
Do more like these! :D

Yeaahhh.. You are right. The knight photo was quite washed out. I also started it at 6 in the morning so... Not very smart

Nice stuff mate, the latest portrait study from life has some beautiful skin tones in there and solid values. One thing i would perhaps mention from looking through this page is to work on your edges a little. In some of your pieces they can look abit blurry and muddy due to the lack of hard and soft edges contrast.
Great stuff so far, keep it up.

Thanks warburton! I've been trying to concentrate on that in my digital sketches since you mentioned it but I just cant figure out whats happening. It was quite an eye opener.
