Hey Guys,

Been a while, spending two weeks in Bali, there was no real chance for me to draw or update there. I really don't understand how people work in such high humidity, although I started getting used to it by the end of the trip.

The workshop was amazing. There is no other words for it. Best week I have had all year. So surreal, so informational, definitely will go back again next year if I have the chance. Which hopefully it will run next year, so I can recommend it to anyone reading this. Definitely try and go to any local workshops you have the chance to go to.

I'm trying to think of stuff to write about it, but I cant really come up with anything. I know I learnt a lot though, but it's more stuff to apply to my own work.

Got heaps of motivation to start working harder again.

But alas, got a cold on the way back so its struggle city at the moment.

I wanted to create a baseline, so before I started studying again I did some figure studies and that jazz so that I can compare as I go whether I am moving forward or just wanking in the dark.

Just a line based portrait study


Figure painting


Poses from imagination ( I really suck at this one)


Going to start doing more still lifes since seeing Alex Negrea do his.


Bougearurueuuauur Mater study WIP


Proportion skecthes from memory (black) and corrected with reference (red)


Neck studies based on the muscles from the mandible to the hyphoid bone.



Skulls

I do 60 seconds gestures to warm up every morning which I cant be bother uploading, maybe I will someday and some traditional stuff that needs to be scanned that I don't have the energy for anymore (damn cold)
