Great studies here!  I really dig the dynamic perspective of your latest post, you nailed it!

Nice start man! I see a lot of potential in your sketches. Keep the drawing vibe going!

thank you guys :> means a lot to me

i've been drawing some faces and people, and getting accustomed to drawing in pen and not being afraid to draw full bodies in clothing with pen/in general. i need to draw more though... not enough studying/illustrations. gotta adjust my routine

i also saw "look back" in theatres last night and absolutely adored it. highly recommend it if it showing near you!







tried to do something like one shoulder shrugging to the side, but i had trouble constructing it. 





i did a self portrait earlier back to test painting more realistically and felt unsatisfied, but it gave me clarity on my weak points, mainly my limited range of values and lack of anatomy knowledge. also some facial features aren't sized correctly, so the likeness is off



later, i made this for my mom for her birthday. i think it turned out better (the likeness is there), but there's parts of it that still feel weak that are harder to put my finger on? might have to do w values again. i know the hair was an issue for sure. overall i need to do more life/observational drawing. might start using my old acrylics soon.
