I think your doing a pretty good job if i am not wrong i know i had myself trouble in the value department but they seem to be driving the focal point and respecting the value establish in the original.I think it just important you try to alternate the study with application.I would also recommend you do some 5 tone simplification.You can also try to a full grayscale masterstudy with blending to learn more about edge and blending.I recommend you to give yourself a goal concerning one fundamental you want to improve for each session so as to not just copy for the sake of copying.

I'm not copying just for the sake of copying, when i copy i have a goal in mind, everyone have their own approach to learn x)

Everything is a suggestion and some advise are given because i am not in your head so i don't see exactly the purpose of all the study you do sometime.You sometime have to deal with critic that bring nothing new and for that i am sorry if there wasting your time.

That's why I said I always have a goal in mind, and I really appreciate all the suggestions, I'm not saying I didn't like it lol

Hello everyone, I hope you guys are doing well! Wow, so much time since my last update in here, These were years of a lot of study and work for me, I had the opportunity to work with drawing and learn a lot in the meantime. This year I focused more on experimenting with my art, and it reminded me of the time when I started studying, so I remembered the forum, so here are some studies I did this year. Merry Christmas :)

Whoa nice studies dude! I really like the use of the multicolor (mixer?) brush that looks really cool. But even without that your shadow shapes and drawing are just nice

Thank you! I'm using the color dynamics on the brush for that color variation and I'm been focusing alot on the design of these shapes

Excellent updates, love you dedication! I'm particularly impressed with the portrait ones, really great skin tones there, very convincing! Keep it up!

Thank you so much! I really love painting skin tones and explore different light setups

Wow, that's a lot of studies, man. A pleasure to look at. Really enjoyed how loose yet precise your brushstrokes are as well as color choices and edges. Good stuff!

Yeah! Lovin' the variety of images you shared recently — your sense of proportion, movement, skin tones, and lighting is top notch. Hope to see more soon
