Skeptical: Thanks for that, I started to do it, after the original lay in and it has helped me see where I am consistently making mistakes in judgement.
And yes, that is one use for anatomical knowledge xP
Blewzen: You should definitely join the bloodsports. Helps to stay accountable for doing studies and shiz. Very beneficial.
Thanks Tygerson :)
Mat: Glad that they helped you :D
Lyraina: Thanks, glad to see that there actually is improvement. I wish it wasnt so hard to see your own improvement, would make motivation much easier to come by. You are right about the eyes, I have tried to soften them on some of my studies. I think I need to do individual facial feature studies lol.
Kaffer: Thanks man! Really appreciate it. I see what you mean now. I will apply some of that to it when I go back to it. Cities are one of the hardest things for me, which I think basically comes down to implying detail. Something I constantly struggle with.

End of another week. Time goes so fast. I always feel as though I haven't used my time as best I could.
So this week I was thinking, as I comment in peoples sketchbooks, sometimes I wonder whether what I actually write as feedback is useful at all. As to better help people when I do comment, could people give me some info on what they actually find useful in feedback? I'm curious as to whether everyone is similar or peoples needs vary from person to person.
Sometimes I feel like depending on skill level general feedback works better than specific feedback, but that could just be me.

Anyway on to new stuff:
Anatomy revision - Summarising most of the info I know about the neck
Portrait studies, I am starting to apply as many as I can, so after I do a study, the same day, or next day, I'll do another portrait, trying to refer to the original as little as possible, and just try different things. Don't know whether it is working but we'll see.
Study
Application
Study
And a failed application (most terrifying shit I have ever created, but I wanted to upload failures as well as successes)
Study
Beginning of an application that I will finish this week
10minute study from life at life drawing
Life drawing vomit. I was so tired that night I couldnt see straight, but I still went (for some stupid reason)
Bloodsports 4: Gorilla Guardians
I attempted to do a comic book style this time, I think I missed the beat a little but I'm not too unhappy with the result.
Crimson Crusaders - Leading Lady
My three fave thumbs
The one I am going with
