Hey if you could do a tuto on how you do the skin texture that would be so cool

Your observation skills are really great. I think if you focused on doing studies from reference and then redoing it purely from memory you'd get much more out of it.

hello! thank you for your feedback!
The way i work on my art has actually three different approaches.
1. studies only /still life or photo study
(not much room for creativity but promises a lot of progress)

2. using reference to make my own ideas look proportionally right in every aspect possible
(it gets creative however i can still rely on images from real life)

3. painting from memory/imagination with a little to none reference at all
(creative chaos and nothing looks realistic)

the problem when using reference to me is that i focus too much on how to make it look as realistic as possible, and then it tends to blend in really bad with my "own original" background. that is why i actually try to avoid reference even though i know thats also a stupid approach because it doesn't get me far at all.
i will definitely work harder to get some progress done!
Thanks again for your comment, i appreciate it a lot :)
