Painting Practise: Kyo

Just thought I would share how I went about this practise piece. I was thinking about uploading to my dA, but I question how well it will be received. I still think his face looks overall weird and I don't know why... it's annoying. Also, you can see where I just got impatient with the hand and left the lines in.

I got the skin colours from this image. I also had a ton of torso images up for reference, but I really should have pulled up a profile picture of the face and fixed the line work instead of just using a picture of the face for colour and light reference.


Overall, I think this was a success.

The Art Order

I found this website in my spare time at work. I feel like it would have been cool to be reading while I was in college because most of the articles are interesting to me. I figured I would share the current one I am reading, I think it's very important and it would have saved me some stress at college if I had gotten the chance to read this then:

Honing your Vision

Oh... February

So I missed that whole month there...

I was drawing, but also, I have an internship, which is keeping me busy. Also, I recently got to attend a life drawing session and even those my drawings turned out terribly disproportionate from lack of practise, it was refreshing to be doing it again. I'll try to post those up soon. (Did I mention my birthday is also in February?)

Other things on my plate include planning a D&D campaign and cooking meals that actually taste good and different from one another. Yes, I cook like a bachelor and I only just recently started to hate it. Hating it is motivation so hopefully I can keep trying new dishes. Some love goes out to my mother for passing some simple recipes along.
