The Velvet Revolvers

[Jeso]

Hey Book! Work Dat woman!!! Work it!!! A little tip for values under overlapping masses like her hoodie, you can use a soft brush BEFORE you paint in the fur on the hood, that way you'll have nice contrasts between the low value skin and the light value fur without having it look choppie . You can use that technique everywhere where there are overlapping masses.

As for the value sketches from the mentorship. I'd say spend more time on it. I know you've been having a rough time bro, and it shows on those value sketches. they feel rushed and just done for the sake of being done with them. A tip for those kind of situations is, get out and do something outside that will lift you up, right before you go back into your studio and get to work on that stuff, that why you actively try to put yourself in the best state of mind for you to get work done smoothly.

Here is Today's work, minus some studies and concepts on client work I did today, Im not sure the people im working with are cool with me showing that stuff.
I like how the oil painted figure came out today, I will work on it more tomorrow, to try to add some face details when the paint dries a little, same for hands and feet. I gotta figure out how to paint decently when the subject is tiny, when the paint is wet as fuck, and my brushes huge in comparison.
