Well good news is that I was promoted and that resolves a majority of my "being the sole source of income while my boyfriend is disabled" problem, but I'm not sure where that'll leave my art. I'll be learning ArcGIS to... basically track homeless people, so yeah. That's a busy learning curve. But my goal is to keep posting on the weekends, even if it's simple pencil gestures. I'll need a hobby to stay sane.
I started this piece a while ago and I'm afraid the face is too wide (measuring eye width kinda shows that one eye over is cutting 3/4 into the nose and not where the inner corner of the other eye should be). Looking at it again after the advice from here, I can see the midtone problem. I might add more to the outside of the nose and corner of the mouth.
For some reason my boyfriend is sitting in front of the rat cage with a cardboard brace in it and I kinda want to ask but at the same time???
I've always wanted to try drawing a tornado mermaid.
[font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]LOL. So, I thought to myself,"Why not go back to using the grid method?" I haven't used grids since college because I'm lazy and my teacher insisted it was a bad technique to rely on. Now I can't use the darn grid correctly. Everything ends up way larger than intended and doesn't match up to the grid on the photo. It does help to determine the angles and spacing between certain elements though.[/font]

I'm trying to use a different skin palette, but I think I need to pick 5-6 colors from it and focus on those.
It's a disaster if I use the color picker\wheel...
I thought I'd make a painting for my new office. I jumped the shark and made a palette painting of a hurricane. I will not be putting it in my office, lol.
This is proof that I do go back to work on projects despite my ADD hellscape.
(I accidentally published a version of this post before it was ready, so sorry if you caught that!)
