Today's study:

~4h

Rough stuff~
I really want to get better... trying to focus on color on this one. I actually learned a lot, mistakes can teach you so so much if you don't let them discourage you. I've gotta keep focused!


Progress:

A long day... I wanted to hit up the art store today but got up late and that ended up snow balling into just a day of drawing and lazing about... no good. The plan is to start creating physical pieces I can sell at local shows based on my fiance's photography of Woodstock, GA, the town we live in. I think it will be great for my portfolio and hopefully a bit of extra money to invest more into my art career.
Fortunately I did have a extra 3 or 4 hours to get this piece to where it is now. I'm calling it done and moving forward... I think I need to get back into faces again I may end up retouching some of those older studies to do it.
I want to get my DA account more active in the near future but I feel like I have to really show my best work and it can't just be studies so I have to get cracking on those original pieces as well and really push!
