Doolio's doodles

[Doolio]

Your proportions are definitely improving since I last looked. Keep it going keep it going!

Thanks man!:)

Lovely rendering on that last figure. The legs (knee area) are really well done. Not sure I like the 'face as a background' though..especially with the tail going right over her eye, that feels a bit strange.

Don't worry about typing resonses etc, you hand's wellbeing is much more important. Hope you are well!

Thank you:)

Well, I find that "zoomed in low opacity character as background" thing a bit silly in general, but I did it for two reasons - first, I saw bunch of people doing it so I was like "let's try it from time to time" (same reason I might try a channel shift or some other random stuff lol), and second, she simply couldn't stay on her own, no matter how I composed it, I don't know why, maybe because she's moving in particular way, so it adds context or something... and since I'm still far from adding any sensible background, no matter how rudimentary, there goes transparent portrait to the rescue:D

Which is an interesting subject on its own:) How much of a one trick pony-ness should one pursue... I mean, obviously, you should know how to do basically everything to a degree, but the question remains, what that degree should be. And when you should start to add it to your practice... Argh, I guess the main guide would be personal preference. For example, I've never seen Stanley Lau or Hyung Tae Kim paint a single chair, let alone some more complex space:)
Then again, if you ask me what would I like to do "when I grow up", I'm not sure I would reply "characters". Well, I'm certainly more into characters and anatomy and all that stuff than environments or even less so, vehicles, but I still don't know the "exact percentages" of my interests:)
Then again #2, I think I would feel a bit "incomplete" if I were fully tunneled, even if I was happy with doing just that.
