crackedskull: Thanks man! I did as you asked with this bright minty green chapstick holder. I'm not 100 % sure about it-- The desk was difficult because it was very grainy/silvery, and I don't have a handle on texture brushes just yet.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
93/10000 hours!
I think that adjusting my Habitica goals so that everytime I draw 15 minutes, I get points... This appears to be a lot more effective for me, and I'm more likely to sit longer.
I've been kind of mentally out of it this week, though, for some reason. It seems like I do my best work on the weekends.
I may have a job opportunity with my art, but we'll see. It's not something that would be out of my depth, though, and it would certainly be interesting.
So, comments on what I've done this week:
Chapstick: Could be better. It's been awhile since I've painted/drawn from life, so it was a neat exercise. I'm going to put down a white paper next time so that I have a more reliable foundation in which to study the light.
Portrait study: I was looking for a good street photo/portrait where I could play with colours and lighting. This was it. Was a lot of fun.
Random couple of figures: I thought it'd be cool to do gestures, but ended up halfway imagining a mermaid-type gal. Kind of proud of it. It was a definite exercise in values without actually using the reference 100 % of the time.
