Jaik's Sketches & Thoughts

[Jaik]

@CoreyH and Joe: Thanks guys :D I appreciate the kind words.

@Lyra: Haha, you're the best. Everything that you listed as me improving in I felt like I wasnt making any progress. Especially the composition and design lol.. If there is any improvement it is definitely due to VL and similar exercise (I'm posting up a new one this week lol)
You're also right about still lifes, theres the OCD part of me that would love to sit down and develop my patience to get an object looking perfectly realistic but I cant really bring myself to have the patience to do so, I'd much rather paint something that doesnt exist rather than something right in front of me.

Sorry for the lack of updates, between taking a week off, then a vacation, then a bunch of other stuff that popped up (including lack of motivation) I havent really gotten round to posting a whole lot.
I have still been working, hard to decide whether still working as hard.. But I have also enrolled in a world building course found here which I am rather keen for. Though it will overlap with the first week of my Bali trip (the first week was meant to be a sight seeing/holiday so who cares if I work through it right?) should be fun.

On a side note, I also decided to learn HTML which is coming along nicely, pretty soon I will recreate/design my home page, it's enjoyable coding again and having structure (learning this then this then this and hey presto, you have learnt html, unlike art which is like, try this, learn this, not know how to apply that, relearn that and realise you need to look at everything all over again, noodle these details, erase that, flip that, transform and liqiufy et al)

Left out super loose sketches and traditional (will hopefully add traditional next week)

Portrait from imagination.
