JyonnyNovice- Hey man! Many thanks for the encouragement in my sketchbook. Your stuff is looking great, congrats on leaving school / job to pursue your dreams! (not that quitting school / job is always good but being brave enough to follow your heart is!). Was loving the traditional stuff, now you're focusing on digital more because of speed? to learn it better? because of the industry?
You're very welcome, thanks for the kind words. To answer your question, I am pushing digital for a couple reasons, chiefly there is a convenience in the tool. I'm not terribly much faster in digital versus oil with actual illustrations, but the versatility in digital and efficiency makes it smarter overall right now. My plan is to level up my digital, and get work ASAP, and as I get more familiar in the industry/ better understanding overall I will revisit oils.
TL;DR- I truly love oils but I think there is more bang for buck digitally, at least now in the short term.
Grotessive- OH MY GOD! You're working so hard that i feel like not working at all. I really really like these studies and those illustrations :O. Awesome job
Haha, thank you! I finally have the time so I'm pushing as hard as I can while I can! And don't worry, any and every bit helps, just do what you can when you can! :D

This is a portrait photo study of Olivia Wilde. I knew portraying someone so well known would be a challenge, but man! My brain really fought me hard here. I really wanted to hammer in a likeness, work on blocking color in shapes/forms and avoid rendering. Started over completely twice, and all told spent about 5 hours and some change on it. Eeeesh.
