Studies are looking better Bot! You are able to capture the mood of the picture quite well.
For me the last two weeks have been awfully quiet drawing wise. Something with holidays, family and friends, but now I'm going for it again!
For next year I want to draw at least an hour every day. I'm thinking on taking an drawing an painting course that is given at my university, if I'm able to combine it with my internship that is starting this Monday.
Other then that, I still want to get my portraits right and will keep studying that. I found the 'In you Face' class here on Crimson and will try to work through that. One class a week. And I want to try to add more details to the drawings and backgrounds. Try to make things more finished.
About the watercolors, I have a book lying about techniques that I should try to work through. It is all about the more traditional painting of flowers and landscapes, but I think it might be good to get a better grip on the way of painting things. In general I think I need to try to experiment more. And besides that I still want to try to finish a personal piece every two weeks.
@Bookend; I have heard great things about the books of Scott Roberson and I'm intrested in the 'How to Draw one. I would like to get a better idea of the content before buying it though, if you worked through them could you give a review :)?
I got 'Sketching form the imagination' book for Christmas. It is not so much about learning to draw yourselves but contains a lot of sketches from different artists and different styles. And every artists have written a small introduction about their art process, sketch process or pointers that they thing are important and a small text by the sketches in the book. It's a nice book to look at and a good source of inspiration.
Everybody keep up the good work in the new year and that we all may improve!
