Thanks Darktise, I will note on the monkey for volume. Right now I have a list of these fantasy creatures that I"m trying to do a sketch pass, then a painted/color pass, then lastly a habitat/environment pass for each creature on the list. Do you think I should go for volume now, or do that in the painted pass?

Kerm: thanks! Did you mean the messy pen-on-paper sketches? I'm quite rusty and half the time I'm uncertain where to put that pen tip or where the line should go next. Lack of practice for years I think. Even my high school sketches looked more assured than these. Also shaky train/subway/bus contributes to shaky lines, hahaha!

Here's a WIP of a gift painting where I'm having trouble depicting mountain full of fluffy autumn trees. The photo made the colors seem more vibrant than what I'm seeing..... that, or the shiny oil is not letting me see what those colors really look like, and the camera has just revealed a vivd truth!




It seems when people find out I'm an artist half the time they ask for free drawing/full painting. I don't know if they ask authors for free biography and poems when they meet them. Or a free sonata for their mother when they meet a musician. Why only visual artists??? 7 Wonders of the World...
