Studies

 Feel as if I'm getting somewhere with these studies. Going more painty, more indicating and strokey. And at long last some Asaro-heads.

Practice

Lifedrawing... Also doing portrait-sessions on a more regular basis.

Thanks for looking :D

Master Copies

Easter-holidays, why not practice painting? These dudes, geez. To show so much, with so little, I am in awe. I like this direction of rendering way more than the perfection of Bougeureau (though I still respect and admire, of course, his polish and draftsmanship). Using lot's of custom brushes and smudge. Never really allowed myself to do that before, I kinda always stuck with the hard round and soft airbrush... Silly. Also Bevel & Emboss. Furthermore, working more zoomed out and trying to slow down, placing strokes with intent and purpose. 

I'm trying to think more like a painter, focusing on abstract shapes of color and their relationships, my brain is fried.

Need to do moar! Take care ya'll!

...like one of your french girls...

Took some lifedrawings and did some painting. I attempted to be less clean, more painterly, using the smudge-tool and some textured brushes.

Off to sketch at Starbucks, but first, here are some lifedrawings!
