Hey Daggers :)

I decided to start a new Sketchbook here, with my new set of goals and working method.

I was unhappy with my paintings, and realized that the problem was in the lines, the structure, the fundamentals. So, I'll begin all over again.

For start, I'll work mainly on lines first, then I'll go to values, until I reach color. Thats the plan, but for sure, from time to time I will spend some time having fun with colors etc, it's not a strict schedule.

Also, everyday that I'll be at home, I'll pick a theme to study. Today the subject was: Faces/Head structure.

For quite some time I've been doing studies. However, I noticed that I didn't improve that much doing so. The problem is, I was just copying - mindlessly. With my new approach I will first analyse and try to understand what I want to reach/accomplish, then I'll start the practical study.

I've done a lot of studies of photos (in the morning) and other artists works today. At some point, when I felt confortable, I did my own thing, applying what I've noticed/learned.

So, this is all from imagination:

I won't post the studies, because I felt that I was posting it (specially in my FB) just to show it to people, rather than to enjoy the process of making it. My denial of posting it is an attempt of breaking that thought of mine. Maybe in the future I'll post some of them, or the ones I feel like showing.

Well, that's for today. I'm really pumped up right now, and pretend on working everyday now, no excuses. As I said, I want to stay only with lines at first, slowly progressing to a full color illustration. One thing at a time.

Cheers :)
