@Alex; Thanks! I hope I can advance with the perspective studies soon.
@Samurai; You are most likely right. I think my main focus with the studies is accuracy of the anatomy. And the painting is just a bit more relaxing, than focused studies and since I'm short of energy last weeks I tend to continue with that instead of just moving on the next study. I'll have to find a balance between relaxing/fun and studying.
@OtherMuzz; I'll try! Plan on doing more drawing, all is it just doodling. Just draw more. And as said above I need a balance between relaxing and studying since my school stuff eats too much energy to also study drawing a lot.
A bunch of stuff I did over the last weeks, but never came around posting.
First one; Acrylic on board. Did that during the painting classes. Was a bunch of work and the hands were really a challenge. Original image my Micheal Hayes.
Second; Experimenting by building up the colours of the face in layers, so you get more colour variation in the face instead of the brownish I usually get. Original image from Micheal Hamptons figure drawing book.
Fourth; Portrait I worked on last weekend. Anatomy is still not perfect, but it is getting better. Just graphite shading to get a better understanding of the volumes.
Fifth; Playing around with watercolours, trying something new, relaxing. Reference image by Nelleke.
