Ursula: Ah thanks Sula for the link :) Going back in and sampling I realised that I had used a neutral yellow colour for the green in the shadow :S Pretty insane..
Rio: haha yeah thats becuase it was only a 20min pose, so I didn't have time to refine anything. I need to get my speed up :(
Lyraina: Thanks :D Yeah.. They are kind of creepy but I wasn't about to draw the bones in the feet if I didn't have to :P
I think I fixed the clavicle a bit, I hope.. maybe.. sigh.
Tom: I noticed that my males always tend to look flat, but my females are semi-okay. I don't know why this consistently happens.. But I have started doing some studies on form again.

This week was a kind of fail week. I got really tired and felt like I was hit by a truck all week. Last couple of days have been better, which is where most of this work came from, since I did basically nothing for the first half of the week.

Mostly value and form practice this week. I realised that when I did this last time I was a little too reliant on the colour pickers value slider, so this time I did it all by eye. And this is also why I did it traditionally as well, so that I was forced to not rely on technology. I think it helped a bit.
The top one is the original:
Hampton study, I got his figure drawing book, so i will read through that this week and see what I can find, he had a couple of good exercises in there that I have been using for warm ups the past two days. There were a heap more of these but I couldnt be bothered photographing them all since it serves no purpose. This was a good selection to maybe get some crits on if I am doing anything wrong.
Mannequinization after Proko:
And my life drawing, learning to use charcoal (this will be the third week I used it at life drawing) is a surprisingly steep learning curve. I always thought it was similar to graphite, so thats how I have been using it, but recently I have found that it shows 'strokes' a lot more than graphite, so scribbling to block in shadows doesnt work.
It was a very fail week (these are the ones I feel okay to show.. the others.. not so much.
Figure studies trying to really get the forms down and applying what I learnt. The bottom right is from my head, thought I would point it out because it is so good you may have missed it.
Kimono material study for itachi piece.
Itachi update.
